Meanwhile, the Pistons had already won two in a row and they went ahead and made it three on Thursday. They skirted by Sacramento 114-113 thanks to a clutch free throw from Jaden Ivey with 3 seconds left in the fourth quarter. The win was all the more spectacular given Detroit was down by 19 with 10:12 left in the third quarter.
Among those leading the charge was Cade Cunningham, who dropped a double-double on 33 points and ten assists. The Pistons are 5-2 when Cunningham posts 20 or more points, but 9-15 otherwise.
