After Action Report
In Miami, the Pistons squeaked past the Heat 96-94. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
