After Action Report
In Miami, the Pistons snuck past the Heat 89-85. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Heat utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
