Outlook: Tobias Harris scored 24 points and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Marcus Morris each had 18 points to lead the Pistons to a 112-89 win in Charlotte Tuesday. The Pistons outscored the Hornets by 23 after Andre Drummond was ejected for a flagrant-2 foul when officials ruled he elbowed Roy Hibbert in the head. “I thought that was a key part of the game right there,” Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy said. “We were down after the play so to come back and be up three at the half was good.” . . . Isaiah Thomas had 25 points and eight assists, Avery Bradley added 18 points and the Celtics beat the Heat 112-104 on Monday night — putting up more points on Miami than any other opponent all season. “We took what the defense gave us,” said Boston’s Kelly Olynyk, who had 14 points. “We just kind of found ways to score however they were guarding us.”
