After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Heat 99-87. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Heat ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
