After Action Report

The Heat buried the Pistons 128-104. The Heat got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
  • Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
