What happened
Cade Cunningham knocked down a 25-foot three-pointer with 4:18 remaining in the second quarter, set up by a Caris LeVert assist. The basket cut the deficit to 37-49 as Detroit worked to claw back into the game.
Why it matters
The bucket continues a steady run of perimeter production from Detroit's backcourt, with Cunningham and LeVert repeatedly trading assists on long-range looks throughout the game. Keeping pace from deep is critical for the Pistons to stay within striking distance heading into halftime.
What to watch
Watch whether Detroit can string together stops to convert this perimeter shooting into a real run before halftime. Cunningham's shot diet and LeVert's playmaking remain the throughline.
