<p>Last week when the Miami Heat came to town to take on the Detroit Pistons, Michigan quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/76856/denard-robinson">Denard Robinson</a> and <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.prideofdetroit.com/">Lions</a> quarterback <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-football/players/10272/matthew-stafford">Matthew Stafford</a> were in attendance. During one of the commercial breaks, Robinson and Stafford actually got involved with the fans by throwing a football around the Palace. The Pistons have posted a video of the passes, and you can check it out below.</p>↵<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Lo45F5f2bk8" frameborder="0" height="182" width="300"></iframe></p>↵<p>This week in Indianapolis, Stafford wasn't throwing passes, but <a href="http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2012/2/3/2769405/matthew-stafford-for-backup-kicker">he did try his hand at kicking</a>. Surprisingly, it went quite well. Look out, <span>Jason Hanson</span>!</p>

<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a> (4-15) gave the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Miami Heat</a> (13-5) a good game, but for the 12th time in 14 games games, it was not good enough, as Detroit fell 101-98 to Miami on Wednesday night at The Palace of Auburn Hills.</p>
<p>A 12-0 fourth quarter run brought Detroit all the way back and in front 92-90, but Detroit went scoreless over the final minute and half of regulation.</p>
<p><span>LeBron James</span> totaled 32 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, <span>Chris Bosh</span> added 27 points on 12-15 shooting from the field, and the Pistons lost despite shooting an even 50.0 % from the field.</p>
<p><span>Austin Daye</span> exploded for 18 points in the second quarter and finished the game with 28 points, while the building blocks inside and outside both performed well, as <span>Greg Monroe</span> had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and <span>Brandon Knight</span> had 17 points and 5 assists.</p>
<p>Detroit gets just one day off before they host the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.peachtreehoops.com/">Atlanta Hawks</a> on Friday at 7:30 p.m. After that, Detroit takes to the road, where they are 1-8, for a four-game road trip.</p>

<p><span>Austin Daye</span> exploded for 18 points in the second quarter, making 4-5 three-pointers, but the <a href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Detroit Pistons</a> still trail the <a href="https://www.hothothoops.com/" class="sbn-auto-link">Miami Heat</a> 56-50 at halftime at The Palace of Auburn Hills.</p>
<p>Daye started the second quarter with two triples in a row, hit two more in a row minutes later, and fittingly made a buzzer-beating 12-footer to bring the Pistons within six at halftime. Daye did not score in the first quarter.</p>
<p>Still, the reeling Pistons, who enter tonight having lost 11 of 13 games, trail the Heat, who are shooting a scorching 60.5 % from the field in the first half.</p>
<p><span>Chris Bosh</span> remains red-hot with 15 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 7-8 shooting from the field, and <span>LeBron James</span> has added 11 points.</p>

<p>With <span>Dwyane Wade</span> out, <span>Chris Bosh</span> continues to step up, as the power forward is leading the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Miami Heat</a> past the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a> 24-17 early on at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.</p>
<p>Bosh has already netted 13 points -- just four fewer than the Pistons altogether -- and he has yet to miss a shot, making 6-6 from the field. Bosh has also pitched in with a rebound, an assist and a steal.</p>
<p>LeBron James has added five points and three assists, while Rodney Stuckey leads the Pistons with five points, two rebound and two assists after one quarter of play.</p>
<p>Bosh's fast start comes on the heels of a 35-point, 7-rebound game in a win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the Pistons come into this game having lost nine of their last ten matchups with Miami, and things do not look promising.</p>

<p>The Detroit Pistons have lost 11 of their last 13 games and won't get any easier a time tonight as they face the Miami Heat.</p> <p>The 4-14 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.detroitbadboys.com/">Detroit Pistons</a> are not having a very good time with their basketball recently. They've lost 11 of their last 13 games, with the two wins coming against the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/charlotte-bobcats">Charlotte Bobcats</a> and Portland Trailblazers. Detroit has been better at The Palace than they have on the road, but not by a whole lot. Facing the defending Eastern Conference champions tonight isn't going to make their lives any easier.</p>
<p>The <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.hothothoops.com/">Heat</a> will be missing <span>Dwyane Wade</span> again most likely, but it shouldn't matter too much to them because they've only lost a single game out of the eight that he's missed so far this season. <span>Chris Bosh</span> led the team as they demolished the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.fearthesword.com/">Cleveland Cavaliers</a> in their last game. That's the plus side of having three superstars on a team, right? Detroit has dropped nine of the last ten games they've played against Miami.</p>
<p>The game will be at The Palace at 7:30 EST.</p>
