Cory Joseph’s game-tying 3-point attempt with two seconds left bounced off the rim and was rebounded by Miami’s Udonis Haslem.

Kyle Lowry scored 21 points and Gabe Vincent finished with 15 for the Heat.

The Pistons learned hours before the game that Isaiah Stewart, Killian Hayes, Saben Lee and Rodney McGruder entered the league’s health and safety protocols. Rookie Cade Cunningham, the team’s second-leading scorer, was placed in health and safety protocols on Wednesday.
