Detroit Pistons is still alive folks.
It aint over yall! Detroit Pistons played a pretty good game especially down the stretch. See Orlando Magic kept it close and manageable. Every time Detroit would pull away Orlando would create a run to get back into it.
In the fourth quarter the Pistons managed a new gear where Cade Cunningham decided to put on his cape and take over, and it was no stopping him. Cunningham managed a 45-point game. The Detroit win is sending this to a Detroit 2-Orlando 3 series.
Cade Cunningham is still recovering from a collapsed lung. So, every game you tend to wonder what type of game he will have; but yesterday he proved that he still can create damage on the boards. Tobias Harris also had a great game he was chippy and aggressive, everything you need when you are fighting to stay alive.
Orlando Magic could have won the game, but it got a little sloppy with the turnovers and no ball protection at times. Cade Cunningham didn't play much defense, and Orlando didn't really utilize or expose it. One of the things Orlando Magic did great in the beginning was ball movement, they would bring the ball in the post and kick out, confusing Detroit. Orlando seemed to fade away from that concept and started to rush their shots.
Detroit Pistons live another day. Next game will be tomorrow May 1, 2026.
