After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat upended the Pistons 91-86. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
