After Action Report

The Heat pulled away from the Pistons 129-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
