"At halftime of Sunday night's game at Xfinity Mobile Arena, it looked like the Detroit Pistons would see their five-game winning streak come to a screeching halt. The hometown Philadelphia 76ers were moving the basketball, hitting shots and playing with a verve that the Pistons -- despite being the rested team, having not played the night before like Philadelphia did -- didn't seem capable of matching."
"But then the second half started. And, behind a spectacular performance from Cade Cunningham -- who scored 24 of his 26 points after the break, including a spectacular dunk over former Piston Andre Drummond in the game's closing minutes -- Detroit managed to secure a 111-108 victory that makes it six Pistons wins in a row, and clinched the franchise's best start to a season in a generation."
Detroit trailed at halftime as the Philadelphia 76ers outplayed them, but the Pistons rallied in the second half to win 111-108. Cade Cunningham scored 24 of his 26 points after the break and finished with a highlight dunk over Andre Drummond in the closing minutes. The victory extended Detroit's streak to six games and produced the franchise's best start in a generation. Cunningham reflected on the turnaround from a 14-68 low two years ago and noted the team's steady improvement. Cunningham backed up last season's breakout with All-Star and All-NBA honors and helped lead Detroit to the playoffs.
