After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Pacers 94-92. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Pacers stayed locked in; Pacers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pacers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
