After Action Report
The Heat knocked off the Pistons 120-108. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
