After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Heat 114-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
