If the Detroit Pistons’ current five-game road trip will ultimately define their season, they couldn’t have asked for a better start. Coming off of consecutive losses for the first time in more than a month, the Pistons handled their business on the road against the Houston Rockets 107-96.
The Pistons won courtesy of a dominant third quarter from Cade Cunningham, who scored 19 of his 32 points in the period and allowed Detroit to turn a game that was tied at halftime into a 10-point lead going into the final quarter.
Also showing out strong for the Pistons was Jalen Duren, who had struggled to make an impact in Detroit’s past few games.
