The Detroit Pistons went 6,174 days between playoff wins.
Detroit’s leading scorer the night of their last playoff win, Antonio McDyess, is now 50.
Detroit’s leading scorer tonight, Cade Cunningham, was 6 that night. – 10:58 PM

Pistons coach JB Bickerstaff on Cade Cunningham: “He was elite. He is a superstar, and he played the game tonight as a superstar.” pic.x.com/DNfvcjHioZ – 10:39 PM

Erik Slater @erikslater_
Impressive resolve from the Pistons down the stretch, namely Cade and Dennis, after that Game 1 collapse.
Detroit winning at MSG while shooting 6/27 from three (with a bunch of wide-open looks) is not something I anticipated. – 10:19 PM

Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Pistons have outplayed the Knicks for most of these first two games. Huge bounce back game for Cade Cunningham. New York needs to find some non-Brunson offense. Lucky to be headed to Detroit 1-1. – 10:18 PM

Hell of an outing from Cade Cunningham, Knicks should be very worried – 10:15 PM

Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins
Excuse the hell outta me Mr. Cunningham. Grown man game with a grown man win!!! Knicks better lock in and limit all distractions “including podcasts” because they’re in for a brawl for it all. – 10:15 PM

The last time I recall seeing a star as tired as Cade was at the end of this game was KD in the OT of Game 7 in 2021 vs the Bucks. – 10:14 PM

Finally a good play call by the Pistons. setting the PnR at the elbow so when Towns had to pressure Cade it was an easy pass. Cade is exhausted but not too much to throw that pass. – 10:06 PM

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
I don’t think it’s been talked about enough how much better Cade Cunningham looks physically this year. He’s so fast in transition now, and gets a lot of separation with that L to R crossover. Didn’t have that kind of pace in previous years. – 9:43 PM

Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Man, Cade has a sophisticated skill set at his age. Tremendous polish – 9:23 PM

Cade. Parker. Cunningham. – 9:23 PM

Looked like Cade just dunked it and pointed at Melo while he was in the middle of a sideline interview pic.x.com/RghlfnvFtT – 9:19 PM

#Pistons Cade Cunningham is on 1. Behind-the-back on a break and dunking over people?
Man, those people have families… – 9:15 PM

Arlington native Cade Cunningham is a bonfide stud. – 8:24 PM

Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Yeah. Whomever gets Dylan Harper, hope for Cade Cunningham. Uncanny resemblance – 8:22 PM

Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Pistons are up to 9 turnovers with 5:23 til halftime. Not sustainable. They’re still up 9, and Cade is still cooking. Up to 13 points on 6-9 shooting – 8:21 PM
