NEW: Yes, Bam Adebayo has made a three-pointer in back-to-back games. But it’s the type of three-pointer Adebayo made in each of those games that intrigues Erik Spoelstra miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… Also, Duncan Robinson is one three away from another NBA milestone – 10:22 AM

The way the Duncan Robinson-Bam Adebayo two man game has evolved is a real fun story

Sunday notes on a Saturday: Is this the rare moment when self-centered becomes central to the Heat? Plenty to play for . . . individually, too. sun-sentinel.com/2024/03/16/ira… Plus: Culture wars; praise for Adebayo; and more praise; putting on their P.J.; Wade’s wait; more. – 9:20 AM

Five Degrees of Heat from Friday night’s 108-95 victory in Detroit: sun-sentinel.com/2024/03/15/hea…
1. Skid snapped.
2. Adebayo steps up on both ends.
3. And makes another three.
4. Robinson when needed.
5. Rozier stays aggressive. – 9:05 AM

First play of the game last night, Heat go horns, flow into a PnR with Duncan and Jimmy. Gets Detroit’s defense to nudge up and Butler going downhill. Great way to get the struggling Butler going early. pic.twitter.com/gqzqspCJXu – 8:43 AM

@omarisankofa
Tek: “For me it’s easy to play with this group of guys. They make everything easier for me, especially playing with Cade. Him being able to find the right guys off the pick-and-roll every time, him and JD finishing for him, helps me a lot.” – 9:33 PM

@BradyHawk305
A much needed Heat win
Good stuff from the Bam-Duncan two man game, plus Caleb off the bench was a much needed offensive punch – 9:14 PM

Worst game for a few guys in a while. Detroit didn’t move the ball well and couldn’t make shots.

Pistons are down 15 again, 94-79, after an airballed Sasser 3 leads to a Bryant dunk on the other end. Been a rough night for Sasser, who leads the bench with 22 minutes but is shooting just 1-for-6 with three turnovers – 8:55 PM

Pistons had 20+ turnovers in three of their last four games entering tonight. They currently have 14 with another quarter to go. Miami has 27 points off of turnovers. That’s the game – 8:44 PM

Duncan 3, Duncan steal, Duncan 3. Heat go up 15 in a flash.

Pistons have gone cold. Game is still very much within reach but they need some buckets. – 8:38 PM
@omarisankofa
Cade has nine assists, but just seven points on 3-10 shooting. Miami’s done a good job on him defensively. Outside of Tek and Duren, Pistons haven’t been able to buy a bucket – 8:38 PM

Terry Rozier fouled on a three for the second time tonight
He’s been good this quarter at attacking and finishing
I also like when he looks for the three ball – 8:37 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Sasser just got called for a foul while Rozier was shooting from 3. He has a chance to give the Heat a 10-point lead. – 8:36 PM
@JLEdwardsIII

Pistons down 7 after the latest, with Rozier at the line, and 4:20 left in the 3Q. – 8:36 PM

Bam Adebayo up to 22 points on 10-of-13 shooting from the field. – 8:28 PM
@omarisankofa
Two turnovers in the first two minutes of the second half for Detroit. Up to 12 for the night. Miami scored layups off both of them, opening the half with an 8-2 run – 8:25 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Miami starts the third on an 8-2 run to take an eight-point lead over Detroit. The Pistons need to respond coming out of this timeout, or this could get out of hand pretty quickly. – 8:25 PM
@JLEdwardsIII
Bad start to the half for Detroit. Miami quickly up 8,
Williams calls a timeout. – 8:24 PM

@JalenDuren has 11 PTS and 11 REB at the half – 8:09 PM

Halftime: Heat 56, Pistons 54. Heat shooting just 3 of 16 on threes, but still winning with the help of 20 points off 10 Pistons turnovers.
Bam Adebayo with 16 points and 7 rebounds. – 8:08 PM
@omarisankofa
Halftime: Heat 56, Pistons 54. Detroit has 10 turnovers for 20 Miami points and is shooting just 5-19 overall from 3 (26.3%). But the second number is better than the Heat’s (3-16 from 3, 18.8%).
Fontecchio: 16 points

Tek: 16p
Duren: 11p and 11r
Ivey: 8p – 8:07 PM
@omarisankofa
Back-to-back dunks for Duren, and it’s a tie game again. Pistons are competing even though they’ve struggled with ball control and Tek being their only player who can shoot so far – 8:05 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Cade just lobbed one up to Duren, who threw it down over Duncan Robinson. – 8:05 PM
@MiamiHEAT
Bam dominating on defense and in the paint on offense. It’s beautiful to watch 🥲 pic.twitter.com/4WpbSDN13p – 8:00 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
The good news is the Heat has 17 points on 10 Pistons turnovers.
The bad news is the Heat is 3 of 14 on threes.
Heat leads Pistons 53-49 late in the first half – 7:59 PM
@omarisankofa
That was Detroit’s 10th turnover with time left before halftime. At least that one was born out of good intentions. Umude probably should’ve just taken the 3 there – 7:58 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Fontecchio could’ve shot a contested 3 in transition, but he gave it up to Ivey, who made the extra pass back to Tek in the same spot for a much better shot. Detroit trails by 3. – 7:56 PM
@IraHeatBeat
With tonight’s 3-pointer, Bam Adebayo has tied his career high of three in a season. – 7:54 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Jaden Ivey will go to the free throw line for his fifth and sixth attempts of the first half. – 7:53 PM

Heat 41, Pistons 40 with 6:33 left in 2Q.
Another game where I think Stew has been one of the better players on the floor despite the limited shot attempts. Has done well on Butler.
Tek can’t miss. – 7:49 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Detroit trails 41-40 with 6:33 left in the first half. Simone Fontecchio leads all scorers with 10 points. – 7:49 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Duren just put his body into Bam and got an easy dunk. Adebayo wanted the charge. Pistons trail by 2. – 7:47 PM
@omarisankofa
Pistons have eight turnovers with more than seven minutes to go until halftime. Miami’s scored 13 off of those turnovers in a two-point game. That kind of night – 7:47 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
Bam Adebayo just hit a three for the second straight game.

Heat down 1 after a quarter
Another night where they only have a single three made
It’s tough to win with that formula no matter who you play – 7:38 PM
@omarisankofa
End of 1: Pistons 28, Heat 27. Detroit fell behind 9-2 early but eventually hit a stride, which the second unit was able to carry. Pistons have five turnovers and are 2-8 from 3, but have the edge in free throws and offensive rebounding.
Fontecchio: 7 points
Fournier: 6 points – 7:38 PM

End of the 1st quarter: #Pistons 28, #Heat 27.

Late 8-0 run helps Pistons take 28-27 lead over Heat into second period. Heat 1 of 6 on 3s. – 7:36 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Fournier gets a 3 to fall right in front of the Pistons’ bench. He tried another from the other corner and the ball hit the camera on top of the shot clock. – 7:33 PM
@JLEdwardsIII
Evan Fournier is making shots and Detroit leads Miami by three with 1:20 left in 1Q. – 7:33 PM
@omarisankofa
Ivey just came back in for Tek. Not sure why there’s always a two-minute lull without Cade or Ivey on the floor, but the stagger is officially on – 7:32 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Taj Gibson just had a conversation with one of the refs during that timeout. He does something almost every game that makes you realize why the Pistons wanted him on a 10-day deal. It expires tomorrow, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t earn another. – 7:32 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Tek gets called for a foul while he’s on the ground. Duncan Robinson tripped over him while backpedaling. – 7:28 PM
@omarisankofa
Cade and Ivey subbed out on back-to-back possessions. Monty’s gone four-deep with Tek being the lone starter, joined by Fournier, Wiseman, Umude and Sasser. – 7:28 PM
@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons are going all-bench-and-Tek earlier than usual.
Probably has a lot to do with Cade’s “injury management” designation before the game, but Ivey is sitting, too.
So idk. – 7:27 PM
@Anthony_Chiang
With Kevin Love out, Thomas Bryant enters as the Heat’s backup center tonight. – 7:26 PM
@omarisankofa
Stew ties it with a 3-point play. Detroit’s only 6-16 overall but has gotten to the line – 7:26 PM
@JLEdwardsIII
Pistons are tied with Heat at 18 after a Stew and-1.
Detroit opened the game with three turnovers in like 90 seconds. – 7:25 PM
@MikeACurtis2
Cade needed that one to fall. He missed his first three shots before that. – 7:23 PM
@BradyHawk305
My one takeaway from these type of games is Miami often gets caught playing the speed of the other team
A speed they really don’t want to play at
Gotta slow things down – 7:21 PM

We’ve got a steal, gorgeous pass from Bam & a Niko triple all in 12 seconds.
