After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Heat 102-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Style points be damned.
What tipped it

- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
