The Miami Heat defeated the Detroit Pistons 118–112 on January 1, 2026, at Little Caesars Arena, with Norman Powell leading the way on 36 points while the Heat's three-point barrage proved decisive. Miami made 14 three-pointers compared to Detroit's 9, and Powell's scoring output anchored a balanced offensive attack that included 19 points from Jaquez Jr. The Heat shot 43.4 percent from the field and held a 49–40 rebounding advantage, controlling the glass throughout. Detroit's Cole Cunningham countered with 31 points, and the Pistons' defense forced 18 Miami turnovers while generating 11 steals, but the Heat's 14 steals and superior perimeter shooting proved the difference. Miami's first three quarters—33, 30, and 31 points—established a cushion that Detroit's fourth-quarter surge of 31 points could not fully erase; the final score fell below the 235.5 Vegas total line. The Heat's win underscores their offensive depth and three-point capability heading forward.
