After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Heat 107-104. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Shots just aren't falling for the Heat lately; the Heat pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Heat looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Heat's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
