Rocky road: Pistons suffer 2nd straight lopsided loss fueled by 8-point third quarter

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 108-74 loss to the Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena

MIAMI MAULING – It wasn’t the Heat, it was the humility. Miami got off to an 8-0 start in the game’s first two minutes, but the Pistons survived that well enough, trailing by only five at halftime. The second half was a nightmare. Miami scored the first 21 points as the Pistons went scoreless for more than six minutes covering 12 possessions, missing nine shots and committing four turnovers. The first Pistons basket of the quarter didn’t come until more than nine minutes had come off the clock on their 12th shot.
