After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat handled the Pistons 103-93. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Heat locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
