Detroit, Mich. — The Detroit Pistons ran into a hot Miami team Saturday night, Nov. 14, and came home from Florida’s Kaseya Center with a 137-117 loss.
Cade Cunningham poured in 33 points with eight assists, and Kevin Huerter chipped in 20 points and seven assists. Detroit even led 39-37 after one quarter, but the Heat put up at least 30 in every period, the first time an opponent has done that to the Pistons this season.
Miami hit 16 threes and shot 51% overall. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 34 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists, and Klay Thompson made six of his 11 tries from deep for 26 points.
Detroit also lost shooter Duncan Robinson to left thigh soreness. He left with 4:17 to go in the first half and did not come back out after the break.
The Pistons were already short-handed. Center Jalen Duren missed a 10th straight game with a right hamstring strain and is expected to be out at least two more weeks, and guard Isaiah Joe sat with a right hip bruise.
Detroit was coming off a 144-140 double-overtime win at Washington on Thursday.
