Live Score: Heat 57, Pistons 34 — Second Quarter
Miami is on fire from the opening tip. Detroit enters this game as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference at 45-17, but has dropped three in a row heading into tonight, including a stunning collapse in Brooklyn where they blew a 23-point lead. That recent skid is showing no signs of stopping right now in Miami.
Bam Adebayo is controlling the paint on both ends and the Heat's transition offense has been relentless through the first half.

Pistons Struggling at Worst Possible Time
The Pistons have undergone a remarkable transformation under coach J.B. Bickerstaff, including a franchise-tying 13-game winning streak earlier this season. But this three-game losing skid has intensified the pressure on Detroit to stabilize their form and protect their slim lead at the top of the East.
Cade Cunningham averages 25.2 points, 9.8 assists, and 5.8 rebounds per game for the Pistons this season. Jalen Duren adds 18.3 points and 10.8 rebounds per game.
Miami Heat's Postseason Stakes
Miami enters at 35-29, fighting to escape the Play-In bracket and secure a guaranteed top-six playoff spot. A win over the conference-leading Pistons tonight would be a major statement for Erik Spoelstra's squad.
The Heat put up 120.1 points per game — second in the entire league — while Bam Adebayo leads Miami with 18.8 points per game. Kel'el Ware averages 9.4 rebounds and Andrew Wiggins leads the team from three-point range.
