After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Heat 109-101. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Heat bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
