After Action Report
The Heat buried the Pistons 101-81. Every possession went the Heat way. The Heat played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Heat · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
