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

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

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

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
James Edwards III
@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

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

Monty on why the Pistons have matched up well with Miami: “I don’t know that we do. Just because we’ve had those close games, from my perspective they’ve been better in the moment. That would lead me to conclude they have the advantage … we have to be better in those moments.” – 5:19 PM
