The Detroit Pistons come off nail-biting a win Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks. They traveled to Miami to take on the heat on a second night of a back to back.
The Miami Heat on the other hand came off a late-game loss to the 76ers on Thursday. They were looking to bounce back against the Pistons. But they would have to do this without forward Justise Winslow and James Johnson.
This game had many implications of becoming a huge for whichever team that took home the win. The Miami Heat before tonight were one game behind Detroit for the 8th seed.
