Fresh off a historic comeback victory to open the NBA season, the Detroit Pistons will try to avoid another slow start Friday when they visit the Miami Heat, who are looking to rebound from a lopsided opening loss.
The Detroit Pistons visit the Miami Heat on Friday looking to build momentum following contrasting season openers. Detroit pulled off a historic 22-point comeback, sparked by a 23-0 fourth-quarter run, to beat the Boston Celtics 121-113. Jalen Duren and Cade Cunningham each contributed 22 points, while Duncan Robinson added 21 points against his former team.
Miami enters the matchup seeking recovery from a 131-106 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo posting 35 points in his Heat debut, Miami surrendered 45 points to Anthony Edwards, committed 19 turnovers, and struggled with perimeter shooting by going 8 of 31 from 3-point range.
