After Action Report

In Detroit, the Heat took care of the Pistons 121-105. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat came in with something to prove after a loss. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
