On March 8, Beijing time, the NBA field broke out of the cold! The 17-47-losing Second-to-Last Pistons of the East beat the 10th Eagles of the East through extra time at home. Canningan played an outstanding performance and blasted 28 points and 10 assists, scoring 7 consecutive points in overtime to lead the team to victory. The Eagles ace Trae Young played more awkwardly, and 5 of 20 in the whole field can be called sleepwalking.
The two sides fought very hard in this battle, and the fierce battle came to the final stage. In the fourth quarter, the decisive moment, the two sides scored canine teeth. Entering the final minute, Bogdanovic scored 2+1 to help the Hawks come back 98-97. Cunningham then scored on his own, and the Pistons rebounded by one point. Hunter made two fouls and scored two fouls, and Cunningham also made fouls and made both. At the most critical moment, Collins made two free throws and one shot, and the two sides drew 101 into overtime.
In overtime, Cunningham dominated the game, scoring seven consecutive points to help the Pistons open the scoring at 111-106. Grant then hit the ball, the Hawks then shot back-to-back three-pointers, and Hunter hit three-pointers to make it 110-113. But at the last minute, Trae Young and Hunter missed three consecutive points, and finally the Hawks drank away.
Throughout the game, Cunningham blasted down 28 points and 10 assists, Grant 23 points, substitute Bagley 19 points and Hayes 13 points. For the Hawks, Trae Young scored just 14 points on 5-of-20 shooting, which was a very bad performance. After the game, Trae Young was also very frustrated, did not greet the opponent, turned his head and walked back to the dressing room.
Counting this game, the Pistons have a record of 6 wins and 2 losses in the last 8 games, which is very amazing. Before that, they had just suffered an eight-game losing streak. In the past 8 games, Cunningham has scored 20 points in 6 games, showing the style of the show. For the Pistons, they have run out of hope this season, but it is certainly gratifying to see Cunningham grow.
