After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons survived the Heat 102-101. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
