After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat held off the Pistons 114-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat couldn't shake the cold spell; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
