After Action Report
In Miami, the Heat demolished the Pistons 139-97. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
