The Miami Heat went into halftime with a five-point lead over the Detroit Pistons. The Heat played with intensity, but Detroit hung around — thanks to 11 first-half points from former Miami player Wayne Ellington.
And then the Heat scored the first 21 points of the third quarter. Yes, you read that correctly.
Miami went on their longest uninterrupted run of the season and had their biggest win of the year, defeating the Pistons 108-74 to improve to 32-35 on the season and move two games ahead of Orlando and Charlotte for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
