The Detroit Pistons defeated the Miami Heat, 116-96, at FTX Arena on Tuesday night.

The Pistons (7-19) came into Tuesday's game as a significant road underdog, and early on, it appeared that label was well deserved.

The Pistons got it done with razor-sharp shooting, draining 49.4 percent of their attempts, including 46.3 percent from behind the arc.

Bojan Bogdanovic led the Pistons with 31 points, complementing them with five assists, three rebounds and three steals. Alec Burks furnished 18 points, nine rebounds and two assists. Saddiq Bey delivered 14 points, four assists, three rebounds and three steals. Isaiah Stewart and Cory Joseph generated matching 11-point tallies, with Stewart also pulling down 11 rebounds and Joseph dishing out five assists.
