DETROIT – Tim Hardaway Jr. hit three 3-pointers in overtime to help the Detroit Pistons end the Miami Heat’s four-game winning streak with a 125-124 victory on Monday night.

Cade Cunningham had a career-high 20 points, 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 was 7 of 13 on 3-pointers.

Miami trailed by 19 points in the second half but ended regulation with an 18-2 run before scoring the first eight points of overtime.

Hardaway’s first two 3s brought Detroit within 122-120 with 1:35 left. After Tyler Herro missed an off-balance jumper, Hardaway hit another three-pointer to give the Pistons a 123-122 lead.

Butler and Cunningham traded baskets before Herro missed again with 19 seconds left in the game. A turnover gave Miami another chance, but Herro missed a 3 at the buzzer.

The Pistons, who had lost four of five games, shot 50% (20 of 40) from 3-point range.

Takeaways

Heat: Herro scored 4 of 17 from long range, extending his streak to 58 games with at least a 3 – the second-longest streak in franchise history. Duncan Robinson holds the record with a streak of 69 games.

Pistons: Detroit played without Jaden Ivey (knee) and Tobias Harris (thumb) and then lost Isaiah Stewart to a hyperextended left knee in the first half. That meant playing time for Paul Reed.

Key moment

The Pistons outscored Miami 11-2 in the first four minutes of the second half.

Key statistics

Butler became the third player in NBA history to record at least 35 points, 19 rebounds, 10 assists and four steals in a game. The others were DeMarcus Cousins ​​in 2018 and George McInnis in 1976.
