After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons fended off the Heat 114-108. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
