Heat Take Down Pistons For Seventh Straight Win

MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — Finding ways to win has been a staple of the Miami Heat’s recent turnaround.

There was only one quarter in which Miami figured out how to slow down Detroit, but that was enough for the Heat.

Goran Dragic scored 23 points, Wayne Ellington added 19 and the Heat pushed the NBA’s longest current winning streak to seven games by topping the Pistons 116-103 on Saturday night.

The Heat outscored Detroit 26-12 in the fourth quarter, holding the Pistons to 30 percent shooting.

“Our toughest, most physical, most committed minutes were there at the end,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
