What happened
ESPN highlighted Tobias Harris as Detroit seized momentum with a 12-2 run during Game 5. The surge came in a pivotal second-round playoff game airing on ESPN and the ESPN app.
Why it matters
Game 5 matters because the Eastern Conference semifinal was back in Detroit with the series tied 2-2, making any in-game swing outsized for win probability and series control. The Pistons were trying to steady themselves after Cleveland evened the matchup following Detroit's earlier 2-0 series lead.
The data edge
Series status entering the game: tied 2-2. Betting context from May 13: Detroit 5. Harris entered Game 5 with an 18.5-point prop after scoring 16 points in Game 4 and dealing with a hip issue, according to
What to watch
Watch whether Detroit can turn the run into a closing stretch and reclaim the series lead. Harris' minutes and burst later in the game will be worth monitoring if the hip issue remains a factor.
