What happened: Cade Cunningham recovered in transition to block a shot during the Detroit Pistons' matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. The defensive stop halted a fast break during an early-season meeting between the Eastern Conference's top two teams.

Why it matters: Cunningham continues to anchor Detroit after being tasked to keep the Pistons' identity intact entering the season. Both clubs entered the night separated by just a half-game atop the Eastern Conference standings.

What to watch: The Pistons continue their early-season schedule as they look to maintain their position near the top of the conference.
