MIAMI (AP) --- Tyler Herro scored 25 points, Bam Adebayo had 24 to go over the
10,000-point mark for his career, and the Miami Heat beat Detroit 121-110 on
Sunday night to extend the Pistons' season-worst losing streak to four games.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. had 19 points and seven assists for Miami (36-29), which has
won five straight and matched a season best by moving seven games over .500.
The Heat are still without Norman Powell (groin) and Nikola Jovic (back), and
Andrew Wiggins (toe) was also sidelined.
Adebayo --- who added nine rebounds and six assists --- entered the night 23
points away from the scoring milestone. He and Dwyane Wade are the only players
with 10,000 points in a Heat uniform.
Cade Cunningham finished with 26 points and 10 assists and Jalen Duren scored
24 for the Pistons, whose lead in the Eastern Conference is down to 2 1/2 games
over Boston.
Detroit trailed by 25 in the first half --- the Pistons' largest pre-halftime
deficit this season. Miami's lead was 18 by the end of the first quarter and
the Heat kept a double-digit lead for the final 38:27.
The Heat won the season series with the Pistons, 2-1 --- becoming the first
East team to do that this season. Detroit also went 0-2 against both San
Antonio and the Los Angeles Clippers; it has either already won or clinched no
worse than a tie of the season series with 11 of the 13 other East clubs.
Marcus Sasser had a look at a 3-pointer midway through the third that would
have gotten Detroit within 15. He missed, and then Herro went on a run that
basically sealed the outcome.
He hit three 3s in the next 1:51, pushing Miami's lead to 93-66.
