After Action Report
The Heat survived the Pistons 114-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
