After Action Report
The Heat edged the Pistons 106-99. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
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.
