After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Heat 119-103. Pistons' offense had its way with the Heat. Fresh off a statement win, the Pistons stayed locked in; Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
