After Action Report
The Heat took care of the Pistons 107-92. Every possession went the Heat way. Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
