After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pistons 116-115. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
