After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Pistons 113-102. Heat torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Heat; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
