3-POINTER – Tuesday’s game marked the first time the Pistons had played with more than one day between games since November 20 at Minnesota when they were coming off a November 17 win against Cleveland. But contrary to the Pistons’ red-hot long-range shooting, Miami shot only four of 18 from 3-point range (22.2 percent).NOTES: Pistons G Brandon Jennings was active Tuesday night for the first time since rupturing his left Achilles tendon January 24 at Milwaukee.

Pistons head coach and president of basketball operations Stan Van Gundy said even if Jennings is returning, Blake will likely still be the team’s number two point guard. His attitude about not being the primary option on offense won’t change in Miami as guard Dwyane Wade and Bosh would be above him in that pecking order. Courtney Lee had 15 points, and Zach Randolph added 14 points and eight rebounds.
Reggie Jackson led the way with 18 points on 8-of-16 shooting while Andre Drummond posted a double-double of 11 points and 12 rebounds with 2 blocked shots. Terrence Ross scored 16 points, and Luis Scola finished with 15 points and nine rebounds. Spencer Dinwiddie, the fourth point guard on the roster, is inactive. Josh McRoberts and Tyler Johnson are questionable.
