The Indiana Pacers dominated the Miami Heat 123–99 on January 10 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, controlling the matchup through superior shooting and ball movement. Andrew Nembhard led the Pacers with 29 points, while Myles Potter added 14 as Indiana shot 44.9 percent from the field and connected on 17 three-pointers. The Pacers' offensive rating of 110.1 proved decisive against Miami's 87.8 defensive rating, and Indiana's 37 assists reflected efficient spacing and pace. Miami's Tyler Herro scored 21 points and Jaquez Jr. contributed 16, but the Heat managed only a 39.1 field-goal percentage and just four three-pointers on 17 assists, compounded by 19 turnovers. Indiana's third quarter proved pivotal, outscoring Miami 38–27 to build separation. The game fell well short of the 235.5 Vegas total, finishing 24.5 points under the line as the Pacers' stifling defense held Miami to 99 points. The lopsided result underscores Indiana's deepening control of the Eastern Conference standings while Miami faces mounting pressure to stabilize its offensive consistency.
