The Miami Heat earned their best win of the season Friday night in Boston. They’ve now followed it up with two embarrassing losses.
First came a clunker to a depleted Memphis Grizzlies team. And tonight, the Heat suffered a humbling loss to the Detroit Pistons, a team that entered the game with just six wins on the season. Yes, Jimmy Butler took the night off. But the Heat should’ve won. Instead, the Pistons rung up 38 fourth-quarter points to turn a competitive game into a blowout.
The Heat led for most of the first half — though it was too close to comfort.
