Detroit is coming off a 127-81 road win Monday night over the New Orleans Pelicans.
“Our intent was great,” Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “Execution was great. For a majority of the game, we played to our standard.”
The Pistons currently have seven more wins this season than it had in the previous two seasons combined. Detroit, which ranks sixth in the Eastern Conference, is on track to end a streak of five straight years without a playoff berth. The team hasn’t won a playoff series since 2008.

Miami has lost eight straight games, its longest losing streak since the 2007-08 season. Erik Spoelstra was hired to replace Pat Riley as the Heat’s head coach on April 28, 2008. The Heat (29-39) have also fallen 10 games below .500 for the first time since Feb. 1, 2017.
“I’m not going to go into a rant,” Spoelstra said. “We’re all getting tested, including myself. There’s nobody absolved from this. I have not come up with enough answers for this team. I have to do a better job. Our group has to do a better job.”
The Pistons are 2-1 against Miami so far in the four-game regular-season series. Detroit won two overtime games against the Heat this season: 123-121 on Nov. 12 and 125-124 on Dec. 16.
