After Action Report
The Heat fended off the Pistons 109-100. Ugly basketball, but the Heat did just enough. The Heat looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Heat bench chemistry carried them. Heat's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Heat · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
