Detroit Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers Game Preview:
The Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 116-109 on Saturday, cutting Detroit’s series lead to 2-1. Donovan Mitchell led Cleveland with 35 points and 10 rebounds. James Harden added 19 points and 7 assists.
Cade Cunningham finished with a 27-point triple-double (10 rebounds, 10 assists) but committed eight of Detroit’s 15 turnovers.
“That’s too many turnovers for us as a group. Sixteen is too many,” said Pistons head coach J.B. Bickerstaff after the game. “Give up 27 points off those turnovers … our defense is so stingy if we get you in the half court. We’ve just got to make sure we get shots on goal so we can set our defense and make people have to work through it.”
The Pistons are looking to reach their first Eastern Conference Finals since 2008, while the Cavaliers look to reach their first Conference Finals since 2018.
