Heat Extends Losing Streak to Nine Games After 116-113 Loss to Pistons

The Miami Heat suffered their ninth consecutive loss after a heartbreaking 116-113 defeat to the Detroit Pistons, highlighted by Cade Cunningham's last-second three-pointer. Cunningham recorded a triple-double with 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, leading the Pistons to victory despite trailing most of the game. Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro performed well for Miami, scoring 30 and 29 points respectively, but the team's defensive shortcomings and rebounding issues proved costly, as they were out-rebounded 47-37. This loss marks the Heat's longest losing streak since 2007-08, and they have now lost 12 games when leading in the fourth quarter this season. The Heat will attempt to break their streak in an upcoming game against the Houston Rockets. Meanwhile, Detroit has gained momentum as they head to Dallas for their next matchup.
