Pistons Lose to Cavs, Cunningham's Assists Highlighted

0:00For the NBA, it's March 5th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Detroit Pistons dropped a tight one to the Cleveland Cavaliers, falling 109-113 on Tuesday night in Cleveland. They pushed hard with a fourth quarter surge, outscoring the Cavs 29-24, but came up just short. This defeat evens the regular season series at two games each, with both teams splitting home and road wins. The Cavaliers now own two of the Pistons 15 losses, marking them as a real playoff threat down the line. Fans quickly zeroed in on Cade Cunningham's quiet scoring night, as the big culprit. Coach JB Bickerstaff shut that down fast, highlighting Cunningham's 14 assists, and how he smartly passed when defenders swarmed him. Cunningham ended with 10 points on four of 16 field goals, missing all three from deep, plus six rebounds, and a block. He did cough it up five times, though, and posted the team's only negative plus minus among starters at minus 11.
