The Miami Heat just sent a message to the entire NBA.
Miami defeats the Detroit Pistons 118–112 — the #1 team in the Eastern Conference — and secures their fourth straight win after a brutal stretch where they lost eight of nine games. This wasn’t just a win… this was a statement.
Norman Powell was absolutely dominant, leading the Heat with 36 points and proving once again why this version of the Heat offense is clicking at a high level. The ball movement, spacing, and pace looked elite — and it raises a serious question.
Do the Miami Heat actually look better without Tyler Herro in the starting lineup?
With a lineup featuring Kal’el Ware, Bam Adebayo, Andrew Wiggins, Davion Mitchell, and Norman Powell, the Heat have shown their best chemistry of the season. But when Tyler Herro returns and demands a starting role, the offense changes — and not always for the better.
In this episode of Miami Heat Talk, I break down:
• Why this win matters so much
• How Norman Powell took over the game
• The Heat’s recent offensive surge
• The uncomfortable Tyler Herro conversation
• And whether a trade might actually improve roster balance and bench consistency
Is this Heat team officially back in the contender conversation? Let’s talk about it.
