The Detroit Pistons (19 - 30) picked up the win over the Miami Heat (21 - 27) 108 - 91 on Tuesday at the Palace of Auburn Hills. D.J Augustin's resurgence continued Tuesday as he lit Miami up for 25 points and 13 assists to help the Pistons to their 19th win on the season. Not only did Augustin record his second straight double - double, he did so without committing a single turnover. Detroit built a comfortable lead in the early going and withstood a 21 - point outburst from Chris Bosh in the third quarter to secure its second straight win. Miami is one of the East's better road teams and was 13 - 11 away from home entering Tuesday's tilt, but was unable to notch a win against a rested Detroit club. Chris Bosh erupted for 34 points, with 21 of them coming in a 9 - for - 9 shooting performance in the third quarter. Hassan Whiteside had 11 points and 10 rebounds to notch his fourth double - double in five games. He also added five blocks in the contest. Miami will finish up its back - to - back set Wednesday in Minnesota. Detroit's win puts the Pistons two 3 games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Point guard John Lucas III, who was signed to a 10 - day contract just a couple days ago, saw his first NBA minutes since Oct. 22. Lucas had three points, one rebound, and one assist in six minutes of action. The Pistons will face the Pacers on Wednesday in Indiana.
