After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Heat 112-86. Pistons torched the Heat on the offensive end. The Pistons are in a full-on tailspin; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
