Heat leave it late, win in OT
When you play the Miami Heat, your never going to get an easy match, as the Detroit Pistons found out today. Going into the 4th quarter 5 points up was enough the Pistons though, but a late string of 3-pointers from Ricky Davis and Smush Parker, including a buzzer beating 3 from Davis, changed that matter. With 1 second left on the shot clock Davis fired, and it was in all the way.
Heat took the momentum from their 4th quarter into overtime, and easily defeated the Pistons.
Rasheed Wallace led the Pistons scoring with 34 points and 12 rebounds. Dwyane Wade couldn't quite match this, but led the Heat with 26 points.
The Heat's bench was also vital to their win, picking up 47 points.
