Pistons hold down Heat’s Wade in win

Dwyane Wade missed two open shots in the final 67 seconds Thursday night and the Detroit Pistons held off the Miami Heat, 87-85, to extend their winning streak to seven games.

Wade, who had scored at least 33 points in each of the last three games, made only five of 23 shots from the field and scored 21 points. With Miami trailing 86-85, he missed from 18 feet with 1:07 left, then missed again from 19 feet with two seconds left. Richard Hamilton, who guarded Wade much of the game, made nine of 17 shots and led Detroit with 24 points.

The Heat, which had shot better than 55% in the last two games, settled for 41% and fell to 3-6 at home. Miami lost despite 20 points and 10 rebounds from Udonis Haslem.

The game, the first this season between the teams, was a rematch of the Eastern Conference finals the last two seasons. Miami defeated Detroit last spring en route to the NBA title, but the Pistons have won 14 of the last 17 regular-season meetings.
