After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons rolled past the Heat 123-100. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
