After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat took care of the Pistons 130-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
