Williams said Cade Cunningham (left knee/injury management) will play (just don't play him so long?)

Monty on winning 3 of 4: “The guys have always been competitive. Nobody wants to hear it but it just takes a lot of time to build the culture you want, the system you want … and we’re not there yet but we’re getting there.” Noted 4th quarter defense, shooting have improved.

#Pistons two-way forward Tosan Evbuomwan has been upgraded to questionable for tonight’s game against the #Heat

I’m ready to watch a beating. Heat need this win. Prove me wrong, fellas!

4 losses in a row, but the 0-2 against them was a loss of an average of 4.5 pts

With no Ausar I feel like Jimmy is going to take it at Font tonight.

Heat came to play we're turning it over early.

Are we playing a matchup zone with Stew up top? This is friggin wild.

Stew with some great help side D on Jimmy and Cade with a nice coast to coast 360 finish on the other end.

Cade with a nice take along the baseline and get got doubled and Stew made the right cut at the right time for the and 1 and we're all tied up at 18.

Tecc doing good things again. You better guard that man.

This win would make it 4 out of 5, right?

Ivey makes some really odd choices. He played well in the first half, though.

Give Cade a whistle

If you want to settle for threes, at least make some.

Turnovers. Nothing new.

Tyus Jones is my guy FA target. I know no one wants a small guard but we need a vet PG that doesn't turn it over and can play off the ball as well and catch and shoot. Elite three point shooter and elite at taking care of the ball he leads the league in assist to TO ratio pretty much every year.

We just turn it over way too much and we always pay for it on the other end.

On the bright side, we get to play them again at home 3PM Sunday with a chance to make adjustments and put up a better fight.

Hard to win when you turn over the ball that much and can't hit anything from three.

Bad lost. We didn't bring any of the energy we had the last two games. Hopefully we look better next game against the same team

Agreed. We need a PG and F in free agency.
