What happened: Detroit closed out another home win over Cleveland on Thursday night, beating the Cavaliers 107-97 to take a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Pistons now head to Cleveland after following up their 111 Game 1 win with a second straight result at Little Arena. Reported Game 2 standouts included Cade Cunningham with 25 points and 10 assists for Detroit and Donovan Mitchell with 31 points for Cleveland.

Why it matters: A 2-0 lead shifts the pressure squarely onto Cleveland before the series changes venues. For playoff watchers, Detroit has protected home court twice and put the No. 4 Cavaliers in an immediate must-answer spot in Game 3.

What to watch: Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday, May 9, in Cleveland. The next signal to watch is whether the Cavaliers can reset at home or whether Detroit turns a two-game edge into a near-clinching series position.
