Miami HEAT vs. Detroit Pistons | HEAT Full-Game Highlights | July 17, 2025

likely the remainder of this first quarter. Slipping to cut the balance and the jumper goes from Myron Gardner. That’s planned to gather here in Vegas and then go across the concourse to watch basketball all day long. Follow inside of both teams in a penalty. Final minute first quarter. Cook with his GPS navigates to the rim and one time surveys a little bit, uses his body, gets contact, and finishes for the and one. Great move. If you have the reputation of a guy who won’t defend and especially if you’re not one of the top offensive players, you know, the Hardens, the Lucas, where you’re the offensive system that defensively they’re not just giving it their effort, but Ziggler is not one of them. He’s the one that’s fighting through every screen and trying to give his full effort. And that’s the type of players that you’re looking for. Even right here, just, you know, just being patient, using his eyes, body, finishing with the left. It’s nice little move. You see it? It’s ridiculous. go one-on-one right here as Yakatonis McCaspers holds up defensively is to stay in front of a smaller guard and it’s that second effort you know a lot of times you know a great offensive player is going to beat you right but are you able to stay in front of the play [Music] lot of up top second gather and finally golden whenever you’re driving on the angles a Couple things to note as a guard. You you can either look for that big for that easy lob or the weak side corner. The reason why the Pistons elevated their level of play is to one of the best turnarounds in league history. Had an unbelievable season. Orange shoes he has. We’ll take a look at those in a second. Right there. Being patient, but if you notice when he gets the ball in the post, it’s that quick look to the middle to get the defense offset and nice little reverse using the rim. Miami has definitely picked up the intensity level now defensively and offensively and they’re getting a lot of great looks as Stevenson gets a nice little floater going inside the paint right there. He was the recipient of a nice three. How valuable though is this for Yakonis to get these reps against the pressure defense. [Music] Pass over the head of Golden. Stevenson recovers, takes the step back triple. Nothing but nets. Stevenson curls around the hedge. Teard drop in and out. Gets his own board back. Hesitation off the glass. Everything’s a fight especially in this third quarter. He doing what they can. Any relatives on the team, you know, it’s it’s coming from a good place, right? It’s coming from a place where they have the experience and they’re just putting on guys that have firsthand experience having an impact on the game. It’s the same thing with coaches. I was off the foot not calling a kick ball and the heat have number Stevenson finishes it off with a layin and a timeout call. Detroit actually it’s going to not a timeout might have been a techn technical foul. So you know the signal of a T immediately after a high school age even younger than that like how do you instill you know that type of mentality that hey it’s not going to be likely the smoothest of rides. They’re doing everything they can to make the roster and a lot of it is come with just playing hard. Corner three. That one falls. My Gardner and gets to head back to Portland. Of course, some rehab ahead of him. Coming back from the Achilles injury is Williams. And after the rehab, Portland’s home. Yeah. I mean, look, as anybody that’s a fan, he caught a body and a half. Oh, man. follow on the Oh my goodness. Burn it up. 13 for 24. The Pistons from three. Well, there’s no excuses for you not to play hard and physical. Yes, the pass. Gardner hands ball. Tear drop is true. Ger Garner driving a basket on the baseline and nice easy dump down to Bal for a nice little floater. Whole team has to be part of that, right? Yeah. Up at two. Garner defended by Garcia. Garner. Good by Detroit. But better shot by Gardner. No, this second half may have had some chippiness in this game. You have six technicals. You combine that with 50 fouls called in this game now up to 51. Coast maker staff will have a fun roster to work with this upcoming season for the Detroit Pistons. Now with the uh different burden though of expectations, you said it DC, they were the underdogs. That bucket goes. Count it.
