MIAMI The Detroit Pistons had their most dominant quarter in nearly two years. And last season’s NBA Finals trip for the Miami Heat suddenly seems long ago.
Jerami Grant scored 24 points, Derrick Rose had 23 off the bench and the Pistons the team with the NBA’s worst record came into Miami and beat the Heat 120-100 on Saturday night, sending the reigning Eastern Conference champions to a third consecutive loss.

The Golden State Warriors have gotten off to a rough start this year. The team is 2-3 through five games and has struggled badly against any opponent that isn’t terrible.
Warriors star Stephen Curry is averaging 26.4 points per outing this year, but he is doing it on 42 percent shooting from the field and 32 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The very thing that made him an MVP and allowed him to rule over the NBA for half a decade wasn’t the number of points he got, but his efficiency while doing so. That efficiency, for now at least, appears gone.
