After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Heat 97-92. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
