After Action Report
The Heat demolished the Pacers 132-96. The tempo dragged the Pacers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Pacers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pacers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
