After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Pistons 138-126. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
