After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons held off the Heat 116-110. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
