After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Heat 128-104. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
