After Action Report
In Miami, the Pistons rolled past the Heat 131-84. The Heat had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; second-chance points piled up for the Heat. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
