After Action Report
The Heat squeaked past the Pistons 131-130. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
