The Miami Heat ended the 2020-2021 season on a high note. Minus some of their key guys, the Heat still routed the Pistons 120-107 in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena.
Coach Erik Spoelstra was extremely pleased with his squad’s performance, especially since key players were out and the younger guys stepped up.
“I feel great for those young guys to be able to get out there and compete, and also show how much they’ve improved since the beginning of the year,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “You can see the improvement that they’ve made, and it translates to impacting winning. Even in a game like this, it mattered, and they did it together.”
The Heat got contributions from multiple players to help them earn the win.
