After a big win over the Pacers at home, the Miami Heat, who were in good shape, took a break and ushered in the Challenge of the Pistons.
On the Heat side, head coach Spoo lined up and chose to continue to believe in the starting combination of Strus + Vincent, and whether the Heat can defend the home field, Lowry + Taylor Hiro obviously needs to play.
On the pistons side, In contrast, Canningham was absent, and Lyles + Frank Jackson got the opportunity to enter the starting lineup, trying to help the remnants of the Pistons, doing a lot of work on the road and picking up the fruits of victory!
However, after four quarters of play, the near-white-hot competition, the pistons, who were dominated by the guests, although in the first half, once overwhelmed the Heat, achieved a huge advantage of as many as 14 points.
However, after returning from the second half, Lowry + Strus in the third quarter ushered in an outbreak at the same time, leading the Heat to play a wave of counterattack frenzy, instantly turning the situation on the court.
Coupled with the final final moment, Taylor Hiro + Strus scored a key three points in a row, completely ending the suspense of the game.
In the end, the Heat, which was fully up, also reversed the Pistons at home 115-112, successfully defending the home court to win 2 consecutive wins, and also completed revenge to send the Pistons 2 consecutive defeats!
Playing at home in this game, the Heat will live up to expectations, and the whole team will blossom more points, playing a team performance of 4 people scoring in double figures and 3 people with 20+.
As the leader of the team, Lowry's play in this game can be described as a crucial leading role!
In this campaign, Lowry scored only 6 points in the first half, and in the second half, Lowry scored 15 points, contributing 21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
In the absence of the two core Butler + Adebayor at the same time, Lowry's ability to lead the team and rich game experience have undoubtedly become the key to the Heat's ability to complete the reversal!
In addition, as the two main players of the team, the performance of Strus + Taylor Hiro, who jointly cut 55 points, was also indispensable.
In this game, Strus was very efficient, starting 40 minutes, shooting 10 of 18 and hitting 5 three-pointers in the middle and outside the line, and got a 26+6+1+1 offensive and defensive performance.
With Duncan Robinson losing his crosshairs on 0-of-6 shooting, Strus's coming forward not only provided the Heat with powerful firepower, but also became an overwhelming presence for the Pistons!
Of course, as a young player who is the focus of the team management, the performance of Taylor Tro in this game is also remarkable.
In this campaign, Taylor Hiro showed his "killer" nature, bombarding a game-high 29 points, not to mention, but also getting an all-round performance of 4 rebounds + 4 assists + 1 steal at the same time.
And in the last quarter when the Pistons launched a crazy counterattack, Taylor Hiro was in danger, and the performance of being able to score key goals also completely disrupted the Pistons' defensive deployment, and made a great contribution to the Heat to complete the reversal + revenge!
On the other hand, on the Pistons side, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the second half of this game, and finally was reversed, and the performance of the game of swallowing 2 consecutive defeats obviously needs to be examined.
But rationally speaking, the Pistons are not completely without gains in this battle!
After all, in the case of the main players such as Sadiq Bay + Joseph, each performing their duties, the play of Tigers in this game by Trey Lyles is indeed not lacking in highlights.
Lyles played well, shooting 7 of 7 from the field and 11 of 11 free throws, scoring a team-high 28 points, plus 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks.
Although he failed to lead the Pistons to victory, there is one thing to say, Lyles' excellent performance has indeed caused a lot of trouble and trouble to the Heat!
It's just that in the absence of Canningan, facing the multi-point blossoming Heat, the fiery Lowry + Strus + Taylor Hiro, and the huge disparity in the strength of the lineup, Lyles, who has worked hard for a whole game, seems to have no choice but to admit it!
