After a four-game losing streak and a hasty road trip, the Frustrated Pistons returned home and faced a challenge from the Cavaliers during their three-game winning streak.
In the Pistons, a number of main players are absent at the same time, and whether the team can defend the home court and end the losing streak, the whole team will obviously face a huge test.
On the other hand, on the Cavaliers side, the twin towers of Allen + Mobli town guard the inner line, this battle team sits on the height advantage, Garland is also ready to lead the team to 4 consecutive wins!
However, after four quarters of play, with a strong start of 15-0, the Cavaliers, who were dominated by the opposition, although in the first three quarters, once overwhelmed the Pistons and achieved a maximum 15-point lead.
However, in the last minute of the decisive battle, the Pistons blossomed more points, played a wave of 13-0 counterattack frenzy, instantly reversed the situation on the court, and successfully overtook the score.
With Cunningham scoring the key three points and ending the suspense of the game, the Pistons, who played at home, also reversed the Cavaliers 115-105, staging a big upset at the same time, but also gave the opponent Cavaliers a big defeat!
In this game at home, although the Pistons once fell behind by as many as 15 points, fortunately, the team did not mess up, but played a team performance of 5 people scoring in double figures, completing the reversal.
In the case of frank jackson + Lyles and other main players, continuing to perform steadily, the two aces Cunningham + Sadik Bay, and the play of Tiger Stewart, are particularly critical!
Cunningham was well-defended in this game, scoring 2 three-pointers on 6-of-21 shooting in the 35 minutes of the opening game, and delivering a triple-double performance of 19 points, 10 rebounds + 10 assists + 3 steals + 1 block.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 10 points in a single quarter in the final quarter not only led by example, leading the Pistons to achieve a reversal, but also once became a difficult existence for the Cavaliers to solve!
In addition, as a major point in the team's forward line, the play of Sadiq Bay in this game is also indispensable.
In this campaign, Sadiq Bay went low and high, scoring only 8 points in the first half, and in the second half, Bay scored 23 points, a game-high 31 points, plus 1 rebound, 3 assists, 1 steal and 1 block all-around performance.
And his key performance in the third quarter, riding alone to score 19 points, not only provided the Pistons with powerful firepower, but also successfully affected the trend of the game at both ends of the attack and defense!
Of course, the Pistons were able to complete the reversal + upset in this game, and the performance of Tigers stewart also played a crucial role.
In this game against the twin towers allen + Mobley, Stewart dared to fight, played 30 minutes and shot 7 of 12, contributing a double-double performance of 14 points+ 12 rebounds + 1 assist.
And I have to say that Stewart's outstanding performance of personally cutting 10 points in the last quarter of the interior was also completely disrupting the cavaliers' defensive rhythm and deployment, and made a great contribution to the Pistons to win the game!
On the other hand, on the Cavaliers side, the team in this game was taken lightly in the last quarter, and finally reversed, and the performance of the game that swallowed a 10-point defeat obviously needs to be examined.
But for the Cavaliers, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights, after all, as the new king of the team, the play of Garland in this game is indeed remarkable!
Garland fired 34 minutes in the first game, shooting five three-pointers and a team-high 24 points, plus four rebounds and seven assists.
Although he failed to lead the Cavaliers to victory, rationally speaking, Garland's personal ability did cause a lot of trouble and trouble to the Pistons!
Just in the face of the pistons with all the soldiers, the ability to resist pressure at key moments, and the core competitiveness, young Garland and the twin towers of Allen + Mobley, obviously need to be improved!
