After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Pistons 99-89. Heat torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Heat's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
