What happened
Tobias Harris opened the scoring attempt with a 25-foot three-point jumper that missed the mark. The shot came at the 11:21 mark of the first quarter with the score knotted at 0-0. It was the first field goal attempt of the game.
Why it matters
Early possessions in playoff basketball often set the tone for offensive rhythm and shot selection. Harris pulling the trigger from deep on the opening possession signals Detroit's willingness to let it fly from beyond the arc. Per prior wire.report coverage, the Pistons have built their postseason run on aggressive perimeter looks and late-game execution from Cade Cunningham.
What to watch
Watch how both offenses settle in over the first quarter and whether Harris finds his stroke after the early miss. The series context — including Detroit's pursuit of an Eastern Conference Finals berth — adds weight to every possession.
