After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Pistons 98-87. Heat torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Heat answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
