Hardaway's hot shooting in OT helps Pistons nip Heat 125-124
Cade Cunningham had 20 points, a career-high 18 assists and 11 rebounds for the Pistons, his sixth triple-double of the season. Jimmy Butler had 35 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists for Miami.
Malik Beasley led the Pistons with 28 points and went 7 of 13 on 3-pointers.
Miami trailed by 19 points in the second half, but finished regulation on an 18-2 run before scoring the first eight points of overtime.
Hardaway’s first two 3s pulled Detroit within 122-120 with 1:35 left in OT. After Tyler Herro missed an off-balance jumper, Hardaway hit another 3 to put the Pistons ahead 123-122.
Butler and Cunningham traded baskets before Herro missed again with 19 seconds to play. A turnover gave Miami one more chance, but Herro missed a 3 at the buzzer.
The Pistons, who had lost four of five, shot 50% (20 of 40) from 3-point range.
Pistons: Detroit played without Jaden Ivey (knee) and Tobias Harris (thumb), then lost Isaiah Stewart in the first half to a hyperextended left knee. That meant playing time for Paul Reed.
Pistons: Host Utah on Thursday.
