What happened: ESPN spotlighted Cade Cunningham's athleticism ahead of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers, scheduled for 8 p.m. ET on ESPN and the ESPN App. Detroit carries a 2-0 series lead into Cleveland after taking both home games to open the round. The promotional clip framed Cunningham's frame and movement as wide-receiver caliber.

Why it matters: A Pistons win Wednesday would put Detroit one victory away from its first Eastern Conference Finals appearance in over two decades, while Cleveland faces a 3-0 hole that has historically been near-impossible to escape. The series has been a coming-out party for Cunningham as a lead playoff guard, building on his Game 7 close-out over Orlando in the first round (see Cunningham's run after the Game 7 win over Magic). The Cavaliers, the higher seed, are now fighting to avoid an early exit on their home floor.

What to watch: Watch whether Cleveland makes a starting-lineup or rotation adjustment to slow Cunningham, and whether Detroit can steal a road game to push the Cavaliers to the brink. A Pistons win flips the series to a potential close-out at home.
