It looked like Cade Cunningham was going to pick up where he left off after scoring 34 points against the Nets on Tuesday. He scored the Pistons first 4 points on back-to-back possessions. However, the Pistons as a team cooled off quite a bit after that and both teams played an ugly 1st quarter.
The Pistons only had 6 points through the first 5 minutes as they missed a lot of shot and had some bad turnovers. Despite all of that, they were able to keep it close, as they only trailed 25-20 after the 1st quarter. Cade led the Pistons with 8 points.
