It wasn’t always pretty, and the Detroit Pistons didn’t always look like they were taking the game seriously, but they did enough to put away the overmatched Charlotte Hornets 112-102. The win moved Detroit above .500 (27-26) and 4-2 to end their homestand. Their two losses were by a combined five points.
The Pistons were led by Tobias Harris’ 20 points and Cade Cunningham’s 19-point, 12-assist, 10-rebound triple-double. It was Cunningham’s eighth triple-double of the season.
Honestly, it was not Cade’s sharpest game. While he was one of the reason’s the team was able to storm out to a 28-point lead, he was also for the Hornets cutting the deficit to two with 7:48 remaining in the game.
