After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Pistons 118-112. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Heat are in a full-on tailspin; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Heat · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
