Miami — There was a time that the third quarter was the Pistons’ worst period, where they’d give up big leads and play some of their worst basketball.
Against the Miami Heat on Tuesday night, it was their best quarter.
The Pistons used a 19-0 run to finish the third quarter and took a lead into the fourth, but they couldn’t hold on down the stretch and fell to the Miami Heat, 105-98, on Tuesday night at FTX Arena.
It’s the fourth consecutive loss for the Pistons (18-51), who were without Cade Cunningham, who missed the game because of a non-COVID illness.
