It was a tale of two halves for the Detroit Pistons, who came out like a team that had been stuck on a plane for six hours before landing at 6:00 a.m. the day of the game, before they pulled together in the second half to make a game of it. Ultimately, Detroit lost to the Miami Heat, 117 to 108.
The Pistons limped to a season-low 37 first half points, dampened by 0-fer performances from Luke Kennard and Langston Galloway, and Andre Drummond failing to secure a single defensive rebound.
