The Detroit Pistons are right back at their quest for an NBA ring. Coming into the postseason as the table topper, the Pistons had a harsh reality check from the Orlando Magic. Depending heavily on Cade Cunningham to nail some of his one-handers, the Pistons’ star did not look like his usual self initially. Thankfully, the 24-year-old star clicked right when it mattered the most. 

Faltering 1-3 after game 4, the Detroit fans were feeling at an all-time low. But game 5 and game 6 saw the team bounce back. And Cunningham played a huge part in this as well. Dropping 45 and 32 points in consecutive games, the Pistons have forced game 7 with a 3-3 tie. Currently, the Pistons front office is trying to add more quality to the roster. And if the team manages to clinch an impressive run, more and more star players would become interested in joining. 

On the contrary, Magic would be lamenting how they came to such a situation. Leading the game 3-1, Orlando looked in cruise control of the game. Now, with everything to play for, Game 7 will be a banger for the fans.
