Miami Takes on Detroit in Conference Matchup

Detroit led wire to wire and shot 52.8% from the field as Miami fell to 0-2 for the eighth time in franchise history.

  • On Friday, the Detroit Pistons defeated the Miami Heat 128-111 in a wire-to-wire Eastern Conference matchup, improving to 2-0 on the young NBA season.
  • John Collins scored 23 points to lead Detroit, with the Pistons spearheading a 47.4% effort from beyond the arc to build an early offensive surge.
  • Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo recording 36 points and 12 rebounds for Miami, the Heat remain 0-2 this season, a rare occurrence in their 39-year history.
  • Detroit's victory came at a cost; Ausar Thompson exited in the third quarter following an awkward fall, and Jalen Duren played only 10 minutes before leaving with a right thigh issue.
  • The Pistons continue their road trip on Sunday, visiting LeBron James and Philadelphia, while Miami travels to face Charlotte on Saturday.
