Ivey, Cunningham lead Pistons to first home win since January over Brooklyn
DETROIT — Jaden Ivey scored 34 points and Cade Cunningham had 32 points and 11 assists to lead the Detroit Pistons to their first home win since January, 118-112 over the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday night.
Detroit (10-52) had lost nine of 10 and hadn't won a home game since a 120-104 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Jan. 28.
"I told the guys, you just have to do enough to win the game," Pistons coach Monty Williams said. "We had to dig deep, but we made enough plays down the stretch."
Dennis Schroder had a season-high 31 points for Brooklyn, which had won three of four. Lonnie Walker IV scored 21. The Nets allowed 13 offensive rebounds and 23 second-chance points.
