(DETROIT) - Bam Adebayo made a 3-pointer at the buzzer to lift the Miami Heat to a 104-101 win over the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. Cade Cunningham missed a 3-pointer for Detroit with 9 seconds left and Terry Rozier sprinted up the court with the rebound. He couldn't get to the basket, so he tossed the ball to Adebayo, who made the 12th 3-pointer of his seven-year career. Duncan Robinson scored a season-high 30 points for Miami on 10 for 15 shooting. Adebayo had 20 points and 17 rebounds as the Heat beat the Pistons for the second time in three days. Robinson hit his 1,000th career 3-pointer in the first quarter. He reached the mark in 343 games, breaking the NBA record of 350 by Buddy Hield. Evan Fournier led the Pistons with 18 points. Cunningham had 17 points and nine assists, but he went 1 for 6 from beyond the arc. The Pistons honored their 2004 NBA championship team at halftime, and one of the stars, Chauncey Billups, had encouraging words for a fanbase that hasn't seen a playoff win since 2008, or a 30 win season since 2018.
