After Action Report
In a track meet, the Heat survived the Pistons 116-113. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
