After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Pacers 100-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
