After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons snuck past the Heat 127-122. Pistons torched the Heat on the offensive end. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Heat's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Heat · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
