Tonight the Miami Heat are playing against the disappointing Detroit Pistons with their big front court that consists of Smith, Monroe, and Drummond. The Heat are fresh of a close one point 84-83 disappointing lost against the Indiana Pacers, who now are 3 games ahead ahead of Miami for the best record in the Eastern Conference. LeBron had a great performance with 38 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists despite some hard fouls James received . Two times in the game it looked that LeBron was targeted in two flagrant fouls by Indiana, which weren't called. James later gave Roy Hibbert a taste of the hard hits he received, as he gave a him a elbow to the face, when he went up to finish at the rim. Miami played pretty well throughout their last game on Wednesday, but suspect defense and costly turnovers down the stretch handed the Heat the one point defeat. The undermanned Heat look to improve to 49-22 against the home Pistons, with the absence of Dwyane Wade, Mario Chalmers, Ray Allen, and Greg Oden. .Recently the Heat have struggled on the road as they have lost 6 out of their last 7 games, including their 84-83 defeat against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. The Heat need to limit their turnovers, try to impose their defensive will, and need to work hard not to get killed on the boards on both offense and defense.
