After Action Report
In Miami, the Pistons survived the Heat 93-92. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Heat came in with something to prove after a loss; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
