In the battle of two Eastern Conference teams in the NBA, the Miami Heat managed to defeat the Detroit Pistons 115-112 in their home match.
Tyler Herro and Max Strus carried Miami to the victory, which was missing two important stars like Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo. Starting the game as a substitute, Herro became the top scorer of the match with 29 points. Strus also finished the game with 5 3-pointers and 26 points, while veteran point guard Kyle Lowry had 21 points and 6 assists.
Turkish center Ömer Faruk Yurtseven in the Florida team finished the game in 25 minutes with 8 points and 12 rebounds. This was the match in which Ömer took the most minutes this season. In addition to the injury of the team’s 1st center Adebayo, 2nd center Dewayne Dedmon could not continue the match due to a problem in his left knee in the 5th minute of the match. Although he is the official player of Miami, 41-year-old Udonis Haslem, who plays the role of “locker room leader” in the team, also scored 7 points in 12 minutes.
If Dedmon stays away from the parquets after Adebayo, Ömer Faruk, the only surviving center in the team, can place in the top 5. The 23-year-old player averaged 6.8 points, 12.2 rebounds and 1 block in his last 4 games in the NBA.
Detroit, which has a young staff and does not have any claims for this season, also came into this game with a lot of shortcomings. While the most important player of the team, Jerami Grant, as well as rookies Cade Cunningham, Isaiah Stewart and Kelly Olynyk were not included in this match, Trey Lyles tried to carry his team with 28 points, 8 rebounds and 4 blocks. Lyles finished the game with 11/11 free throws.
