After Action Report

The Heat outlasted the Pistons 110-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. The Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
