After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Heat 104-99. Every possession went the Pistons way. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
