After Action Report
The Heat ran roughshod over the Pistons 140-119. The breakneck pace played right into Heat's hands. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Heat's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
