After Action Report

In Indiana, the Heat buried the Pacers 127-96. Heat's offense had its way with the Pacers. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Heat carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
