After Action Report

In Miami, the Heat outlasted the Pistons 110-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Heat stayed locked in; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
