(DETROIT) – Dwayne Casey wants the Detroit Pistons to react a little better when they hit a rough stretch. Friday night against Miami was another test. Blake Griffin had 32 points and 11 rebounds, and the Pistons overcame an early exit by injured Andre Drummond to beat the Heat 98-93. Detroit blew a 16-point lead and scored only 12 in the third quarter, but the Pistons rebounded in the fourth and have won consecutive games for the first time since early December. Dwyane Wade scored 20 points for the Heat, but missed badly on an off-balance 3-pointer in the final seconds that could have tied the game. Detroit led by 16 in the first half and was up 53-39 at halftime, but the Pistons were down by four by the time the third period was over. Luke Kennard scored eight points in the fourth to help them pull through. Drummond left with a nasal injury after being hit in the face in the first quarter by the arm of Miami's James Johnson. Drummond finished with no points in 7:14. Casey said Drummond had a nasal contusion and will be re-evaluated Saturday morning. Kennard scored 22 points for the Pistons, and Reggie Bullock added 19. The Pistons, who defeated Orlando on Wednesday, have won back-to-back games for the first time since then.
