Detroit — The Pistons got a big win on Thursday with a big game from Blake Griffin. This time, they did it with more help from some other sources.
Griffin was good, with 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, but the Pistons got big contributions from all over the starting lineup and eked out a 111-107 victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday night before an energized crowd at Little Caesars Arena.
It’s the third straight win for the Pistons (25-26) and second since Griffin joined the lineup on Thursday.
Ish Smith had a season-high 25 points — including a critical 3-pionter from the corner with 14.
