After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Pistons 107-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
