How Norm Powell and Elite Defense Fueled the Miami Heat's Biggest Win of the Season vs Pistons

Miami Heat silence the Detroit Pistons with elite defense and Norm Powell’s scoring explosion—have the Heat broken through? Wes Goldberg and David Ramil spotlight Miami’s "best win of the season" over the Eastern Conference leaders, fueled by Davion Mitchell’s lockdown coverage on Cade Cunningham and clutch plays from Jaime Jaquez Jr. The conversation covers Andrew Wiggins’ rebounding prowess, Dru Smith’s timely steals, and how Erik Spoelstra’s evolving defensive schemes stifled Detroit’s offense. With Tyler Herro sidelined, the Heat’s young core steps up, raising questions about long-term fit, potential trade deadline moves, and Hero vs. Powell as Miami’s secondary star.
