Cade Cunningham made a strong return to the court after recovering from a collapsed lung, helping the Detroit Pistons secure a victory against the Milwaukee Bucks with a final score of 137-111 at Little Caesars Arena. Cunningham contributed 13 points, 10 assists, and five rebounds in his comeback game, showcasing his impact on both offense and defense.
Isaiah Stewart also marked his return from a calf injury by scoring eight points on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting performance.
Pistons Team Chemistry Shines In Cunningham’s Return
During the game, seven Pistons players scored in double figures, with Jalen Duren leading the team with 21 points, nine rebounds, and three assists.
Additionally, Duncan Robinson and Ronald Holland II delivered impressive performances, contributing to the Pistons’ 3-1 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks in the regular-season series. Detroit achieved 14 three-pointers and shot 47 percent from beyond the arc.
Despite their struggles in three-point shooting, the Pistons’ potential to enhance their consistency from long range could be a determining factor in their pursuit of the NBA championship.
The Pistons’ victory against the Bucks has brought their season record to 58-22, with a chance to secure 60 wins for the first time since the 2005-06 season. Achieving this milestone would align them with the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs as the only other NBA teams to reach 60 wins.
The Pistons aim to edge closer to the 60-win mark as they take on the Hornets in Charlotte, with the game scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. ET at the Spectrum Center.
