[I'm so tired of being behind, that I'm grabbing just a short
headline and mini-boxscore from the paper. I'll post more
detail later...]

Detroit Pistons at Miami Heat on 05 Jan 93

(mia)Rookie Harold Miner beat (det)Dumars to lead the
(9-19) Miami Heat to an 89-83 victory over the (15-13)
Detroit Pistons! Miner scored 19pts in 21min! Way to go,
Harold! (mia)Miner and Seikaly toughed it out with late Q4
fgs and fts to seal the win. Seikaly earned the ovation of
the year when he slapped away a (det)Laimbeer jumper with
5:11 left, with the Heat up by one. Way to play a never-
quit-fighting fourth-quarter, Heat! 
   Miami held Detroit to 15pts in Q1 and 33 points in the
1st half, both season-lows for a Heat opponent. The Heat
tied a team record with only two turnovers in the 1st half.
(chi)Thomas's scoring and Rodman's rbs led Detroit.

Ahead for the Heat: (Next home game 1/20 Phi-76ers)

(mia)Steve Smith is not expected to join the team on this
road trip, but there's lots of local talk that he'll start
immediately with full-game minutes before February!
