The Heat squeaked past the Pistons 113-109. Heat's scorers couldn't be contained. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
