The Miami Heat are coming off one of their more ugly defeats of the season. Though they’ve had a few stinkers now, including a 40-point quarter that saw them up by 16, only to lose to the Clippers.

However, this last game against the Washington Wizards probably has to take the cake. Finding themselves up around 16 points late in the game, midway to late in the third period exactly, they squandered the lead.

Allowing the Wizards to regain and then fully capture the momentum off of the hot range-shooting of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Spencer Dinwiddie, the Miami Heat could not overcome. What better way to get back on track though… than with a trip to Little Caesars.

Yep, the Miami Heat are having a pizza party! Well, not exactly.

Tuesday evening sees them travel to Detroit to enter the Little Caesars Arena for a matchup with the young Pistons.
