After Action Report
The Heat downed the Pistons 106-95. Heat's offense had its way with the Pistons. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
