Pistons-Heat Preview

The Miami Heat are enjoying one of their best runs since their championship season of 2005-06. With no quality opponents remaining, they have a strong chance to carry their winning streak into the playoffs.

In yet another game with a subpar team, the Heat look to win 10 straight for the first time in four years as they host the Detroit Pistons on Friday night.

Miami (44-34), tied with Milwaukee for fifth place in the Eastern Conference, is playing well at an ideal time. The Heat have four games remaining before postseason play.

A win over Detroit (25-53) would give Miami 10 in a row for the first time since Feb. 12-March 8, 2006. The Heat ended up winning a title then, going 52-30 in the regular season.

That had been the last time Miami was 10 games above .500 before it beat Philadelphia 99-95 on Wednesday night.

"We're going to be a team that's going to be reckoned with for seven games," six-time All-Star Dwyane Wade told the Heat's official Web site.

Miami, though, has faced one team with a winning record during its streak, beating the Bucks 87-74 on March 26. Its last three games are against New York, Philadelphia and league-worst New Jersey.

Still, the Heat have reason to be confident heading into their second straight postseason appearance. Wade and Udonis Haslem, teammates since their rookie seasons in 2003-04, have been providing leadership.

"You see that passion, focus, what it means to them," coach Erik Spoelstra told the Heat's official Web site, "and it's setting a great example for the rest of the team."

Wade scored eight points in the final four minutes against the 76ers, and Haslem had 11 rebounds to finish in double figures for the fourth straight game. Wade has started 460 games, one shy of matching Glen Rice's franchise record.

Wade has been held to an average of 16.0 points in two games versus the Pistons this season, going 4 for 6 from 3-point range. Miami has shot 53.3 percent (48 for 90) from beyond the arc in winning five straight against Detroit.

The Pistons are coming off a strong game against one of the East's top teams, beating Atlanta 90-88 on Wednesday night. Despite being hampered by injuries, Detroit has won two straight after losing its previous 11.

Tayshaun Prince (personal reasons), Richard Hamilton (ankle), Jason Maxiell (back) and Chris Wilcox (hamstring) all sat out against the Hawks. Prince is expected to return, but Hamilton, Maxiell and Wilcox are questionable.

Austin Daye, who started for Prince, posted his first career double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Daye, Detroit's first-round pick in 2009, played a career-high 44 minutes.

He had nine points and nine rebounds in a 124-103 win over Philadelphia on Tuesday night.

"Austin has really shown signs of figuring the game out," coach John Kuester said.

Pistons end Heat's nine game win streak

MIAMI (NBA.com exclusive) -- As songs by hip-hop artist Snoop Dogg jammed on the portable compact disc player in the Detroit Pistons' postgame locker room, center Ben Wallace bobbed his head to the beat.

On the other side of AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra was complaining about his team's lack of focus.

If you didn't know any better you'd have thought the Heat was the team emerging from an 11-game losing streak and Detroit was the team riding a nine-game win streak.

Yes, there was a strange bit of role reversal in Detroit's 106-99 victory at Miami on Friday, a loss that ended the NBA's longest active win streak at nine games.

Strangely, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said he saw this coming for four or five games, even as his team was mounting its best win streak of the season.

"The writing's been on the wall and we weren't able to catch it quick enough," he said.

Detroit (26-53), which has now won three consecutive games for the third time this season, was led by guard Ben Gordon (39 points) and forward Tayshaun Prince (28 points), who took turns confounding the Heat.

Prince (20 first-half points) handled the job early, and Gordon (26 second-half points, 12 in the fourth quarter) handled the job late.

"It's important we try to finish the year on a good note and go into the summer with confidence," Gordon said.

The victory ties Detroit for its second-longest win streak of the season. Its only longer streak was five consecutive games in December.

Detroit went ahead, 100-93, when Gordon hit a three-pointer, his seventh of the game, with 2:11 remaining. But his bigger contribution might have been defensively, where he held Heat superstar guard Dwyane Wade, one of the league's most feared fourth-quarter assassins, to zero points on 0-for-2 shooting.

"I've never seen him take the challenge the way he did," Pistons coach John Kuester said.

Wade ended with 19 points, nine assists and five turnovers, but he only had six second-half points on 2-for-4 shooting.

Even with that, Miami (44-35) had a chance. But second-year forward Michael Beasley (nine points, four rebounds) committed a turnover with 42.6 seconds left and the Heat trailing, 102-96. It was the Heat's 16th turnover of the game, slightly above its season average of 13, and it practically ensured a Detroit victory.

The Heat still has plenty at stake. Most likely it wants a first-round playoff series against Boston because it matches up fairly well with the Celtics. The Heat, which is assured of finishing with either the fifth, sixth or seventh seeds, doesn't matchup as well with Orlando or Atlanta. Miami, of course, lost to Atlanta in a seven-game first-round series last year.

Spoelstra wants his team to maintain its edge and carry that sharpness into the playoffs.

"Right now we've had slippage," he said in spite of the Heat's win streak. "We've had slippage at the start of games. We're not coming out with energy. Our bench has really come in and ignited us and saved us in a couple of games."
