Miami — Twelve minutes. Eight points. Eight fouls.
That’s not playoff basketball — it’s almost not basketball.
The Pistons played well in the first half but had their worst third quarter of the season and collapsed in another showdown game for the playoff push.
The Miami Heat capitalized on the drought, turning a five-point halftime lead into a third-quarter blowout, dismissing the Pistons, 108-74, on Wednesday night at American Airlines Arena.
