After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Heat 89-76. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
