Cade Cunningham's 29 points fueled the Detroit Pistons to a 138-135 nail-biter over the Miami Heat Saturday at Kaseya Center, extending their franchise-best 16-4 start and snapping a two-game slide.
Pistons trailed by 22 in the fourth but unleashed a 22-10 surge; Tobias Harris added 26 on 10-12 shooting. Duncan Robinson's 18 in Miami return couldn't stem Detroit's tide.
Bam Adebayo closed to 133-131 with 34 seconds left, but Cunningham's drive sealed it. J.B. Bickerstaff: "Resilience defined us."
Heat (13-6) shot 58% but faltered late; Erik Spoelstra rued turnovers. Attendance: 19,600; Pistons host Hawks Monday.
