The Detroit Pistons ( 30 - 47 ) dealt a crushing blow to the Miami Heat 's ( 34 - 42 ) playoff chances Saturday with a 99 - 98 victory at The Palace of Auburn Hills . Miami had a golden opportunity to tie Brooklyn in the standings after the Nets were routed in Atlanta earlier Saturday , but let this game slip away for a gut - wrenching loss . The Heat appeared to be on their way to a victory with a seemingly comfortable 12 point lead with 4:13 to go , but the Pistons battled back with a 14 - 3 run . Dwayne Wade , who had been efficient from the floor through three quarters , missed all four of his field goal attempts in the fourth quarter . Wade 's miss with 10 seconds to go led to Reggie Jackson 's go ahead layup with five ticks left on the clock . The Heat 's playoff hopes now hang in the balance with several teams within one game of overtaking them . Miami appeared to be a lock for the playoffs two weeks ago , but a 2 - 6 record over its last eight games has put its post season hopes in serious jeopardy . Dwayne Wade was able to play 35 minutes on a banged up knee , which he aggravated Thursday in Cleveland . He finished with 24 points , but could n't convert down the stretch . The Heat are in direct competition with the Pacers and Hornets for one of the final two spots in the East , which could be a blessing or a curse depending on how they perform against them in their next two games . Miami draws a matchup in Indiana on Sunday before hosting Charlotte on Tuesday . Detroit gave Miami a scare late in their last meeting , but it was able to complete the comeback Saturday with a big win . Reggie Jackson was sensational with 29 points and 11 assists , but did commit seven turnovers . Andre Drummond had 11 points and 17 rebounds . The Pistons are off until Wednesday when they host the Celtics .
