After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Heat 100-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons sent shots into the fifth row all night; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
