After Action Report
The Pistons held off the Heat 119-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
