The lead for Thompson perfectly thrown and Thompson lays it in. Oh, that’s just a great pass. The big man has brought it here in his second season. Yovic getting a chance at minutes tonight. Lobs for Kell and he cashes in. Good attack though and looking with the peripheral vision there to make that pass to his left. Paul Reed is in for the Pistons. Back up big man as Cunningham climbs the ladder again. Force him to make shots out on the perimeter. That’s his Achilles heel. Not as good out beyond the arc. Larson lobbing and Kell crushing. That’s what he does best. Battle between these two teams heating up in the place both like the best. The paint.

But he’s getting a chance tonight without Hawkins finds Smith with six on the shot clock. Duck in. Nice pass where dunks it down. And Caris Levert who’s not playing tonight. Here comes Tyler. A punt fake there on the tip in. He’s an excellent rebounder and a very special offensive rebounder. Can’t overcommunicate enough on the floor. And as the point guard, you’re the coach on the floor. And how about a steal for Drew Smith off the hands of Thompson. The eighth Detroit turnover turns into a hero triple. It’s the running hook over where Duncan Robinson 11 first half points.

He’s gotten out of the rib with the dynamic athleticism. 15 for Wiggins. Stewart attacking back. Missed it. Gets it back and gets a chance at a three-point play. Yeah, he is just relentless and physical and just keeps playing and playing until the whistle blows. Duncan bounces off. Rebound batted out by Stewart. Harris driving on Wiggins. Gotted line jumper is right there. just punishing Miami inside. Davon Mitchell hands it off to wear. Oh, steal by Duncan Robinson. Harris coming right past Williams. Oh, they’re they’re flying by. They right now they look like they’re in a different weight class. And think about what Detroit’s doing. Their third game in four nights. I don’t want to belabor, but you play in Detroit last night. You check in your hotel room in Miami at 4 in the morning. Tough to give him multiple opportunities. He’s just so good out there. Powell hits the run. Logan Powell. He finds a way. Ron Holland the second in for for Detroit along with Jade Knight. Kate Cunningham. Got 21. Only two in the third quarter. Here he is from the baseline. It’s good. Cunningham for Reed. parked underneath against Kell. Oh, thought he was too far under and then he checked and he wasn’t. Nine points off the bench for Reed. He down by 12. 210 left here in the third. Cunningham coming right at Kell Cunningham. When he wants it, he just goes super comfortable being able to finish with that hand. Claire knocked it away. He’d have numbers. Here comes Powell. Got it. Well, the Pistons with a 10189 lead. Minute 15 left in the third. And Yovic just threw it away to Ron Holland. Oh man, that was embarrassing. That was just gifted right there.

Reed taking advantage of a slow reacting wear on that play. Reed with 13 points off the bench. That counts for Drew Smith plus a Detroit foul. The crossover sets it up and two hands on the body by Cade Cunningham. And by the way, speaking of the Pistons balance and depth, the nine games that that he missed, the Pistons won them all. A steal by Holland the second got the score and the fouling and and overcoming obstacles in a very one-sided performance. Yeah, they’re just really aggressive on the ball. They’ve really showed their their mental toughness. Very together team is Detroit’s hero Trees again, but they’re still down by 19 with 740 left. By the way, not out of the realm of possibility for a comeback if you can get high. That man is hot. Tobias Harris, Miami trailing 127 to 109. So an 18point deficit with 526 left. A steal by Wigan.

Active hands, a little back tip and run out in the pitch ahead. The athletic Wiggins able to put on the brakes. And Pistons are a stingy defensive team.

How about Duncan Robbins Cunningham to his right doubled Davon for the second straight possession takes it away from the lob. Wiggins put it in. What a hookup. Powell to Wiggins for the score and foul. The defense the timely double team and steel. DaVon Mitchell going down on the ground and this pass is perfection. And the Constants down by eight. Eat ball. Minute 30 left. Tyler time. Yes. At CSA Center with a Heat down by two. Pistons ball. 43 seconds left. Jenkins down the middle. What a play by Dennis Jenkins. How about this from a young player, John? Great double team and Bam getting stuck in between. Fakes at him and commits very late. Mitchell has Wiggins, Powell, Hero, and Dan. Emma North turns the corner. Miss it. Bam. Got it. Need a stop. They don’t get one. Kate Cunningham. Timeout heat with 20 seconds left. This is what Kade Cunningham has done all season long. Finish games for Detroit. Making plays just like this. Got it to Norman. How against Cunningham to the paint. Oh, ball goes off his body out of bounds. 136 on the scoreboard. Miami gave up 140 in that eight-point loss at New York. That was the most points allowed this year by the year. Makes it a two-p possession game and really puts it out of reach. Two big Ms for a young player, Dannis Jenkins. 3 seconds left in the game. Powell all the way in for the score. Norman will finish with 28.
