After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pistons 110-109. Heat torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
