After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Heat 118-117. The tempo dragged the Heat into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
