After Action Report
The Heat buried the Pistons 131-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Heat cashed in. Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Heat rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
