Detroit Pistons Breaks Playoff Win Drought With a Victory in Game 2 Over the Knicks

Veteran point guard Dennis Schroder performed excellently for the Pistons. The German star came off the bench and provided the Pistons with 20 points and shot 6-for-10 from the field.

Former Los Angeles Lakers star Magic Johnson was ecstatic after the Pistons won. Although Johnson played against Detroit multiple times in his career, he still supports the team as a Michigan native. The five-time champion called Cunningham a “superstar” after his outing.

“Pistons guard Cade Cunningham showed America he’s a superstar in the making scoring 33 points tonight in their win over the New York Knicks! Dennis Schroeder scored 20 points and hit the biggest shot of the game to break the tie that helped the Pistons pull it out in the stretch 100-94. This Pistons vs. Knicks Series is great to watch!” the Hall of Fame point guard said.

Game 3 will be on the home court of the Detroit Pistons, at the Little Caesars Arena on Thursday.

Detroit Pistons head coach had high praise for Cunningham

The head coach of the Detroit Pistons, J.B. Bickerstaff, was impressed with how Cunningham performed in Game 2. After the game, Bickerstaff talked to the media and revealed his thoughts on how the 6-foot-6 guard played.

“He was elite. He is a superstar, and he played the game tonight as a superstar,” Bickerstaff said.

“He did what he needed to do to help this team win. He understood how aggressive he needed to be on the offensive end of the floor, so he was going to go out and be aggressive. He also understood how important finishing possessions was, he had 11 defensive rebounds.”

In his playoff debut, the former top pick finished with 21 points and shot 38.1 percent on the floor. Since then, he’s turned things around and has played efficiently.
