After Action Report
The Heat buried the Pistons 114-91. Heat's stops on the defensive end set the tone. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.

- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
