Dirk Nowitzki led the Mavericks with 20 points and seven rebounds.
Heat 93, Pistons 92
MIAMI -- Reggie Jackson scored 18 points, and Detroit made 15
3-pointers and erased an early 18-point deficit to beat Miami.
Dwyane Wade had a chance to give the Heat the lead in the closing
seconds, but he missed a pull-up jumper that was rebounded by
Pistons forward Andre Drummond with 1.9 seconds left.
Drummond left the door open for Miami, however, when he missed two
subsequent free throws. The Heat's Chris Bosh missed on an open look
with a foot on the 3-point line at the buzzer as the shot bounced
off the rim.
