The Detroit Pistons secured their playoff future with a gripping 106-103 win against the New York Knicks, driven by standout performances from Cade Cunningham and Ausar Thompson. The teamâs 44-38 season marks a remarkable turnaround from their previous 14-win record. With a strong belief in their unity and a desire to keep pushing forward, players emphasize their cohesion despite pressures. They face Game 6 after losing an NBA record nine consecutive home games. Yet, they express confidence, especially given their better performance in New York, urging fans to expect a series comeback.
The players the Pistons put together to turn a 14-win team into a playoff squad aren't ready to split up for the summer.
Everybody's got a back's-against-the-wall type of mentality, but the group really loves being around each other and I think that was one of the biggest things.
Confident, Cunningham said. We'll be back.
Detroit, though, has lost an NBA record-tying nine straight home games since 2008.
