After Action Report
The Heat rolled past the Pistons 118-98. Heat's offense had its way with the Pistons. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It broke open after the break.
