After Action Report
The Heat held off the Pistons 119-110. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
