The Detroit Pistons are having an exciting 2024-25 season, showing significant improvement after a challenging 2023-24 campaign.

The game came down to the wire, with Cade Cunningham delivering a clutch performance in the final moments. He finished the night with a triple-double of 25 points, 11 assists and 12 rebounds.

Cunningham’s game-winning shot with seconds left was the highlight of the night, capping off a strong performance where he contributed to both the offense and defense.

The win not only helped Detroit maintain their playoff position but also showcased their resilience in high-pressure situations.
