After Action Report
In Miami, the Pistons demolished the Heat 123-96. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
