After Action Report
The Heat handled the Pistons 120-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
