Detroit had seven different scorers contribute double-figure points in their victorious effort, as they remain in first place in the Eastern Conference at 19-5. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-star-cade-cunningham-all-star-honor-proves-rebuild-paying-off">All-Star point guard Cade Cunningham</a> explained why he believes wins like these are <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOosyOK8wBE" rel="noopener">so valuable</a> for the Pistons.</p><p>“These are the best [wins] where we move the ball around, and everybody gets a piece of the action. Everybody just played a great brand of basketball. We had a lot of turnovers in the first half; we cut that down in the second half. That was the change in the game for us,” Cunningham explained to the media.</p><p>“These are the fun ones, [when] everybody gets in on it. Everybody can score the ball. We have a lot of depth, so it’s easy for guys to put the ball in the rim, it’s just about us following the game plan and getting each other shots.”</p><p>Detroit led by as many as 27 points against its division rival opponents. They managed to share the ball efficiently on offense with 31 assists on 43 made field goals. Milwaukee ran a zone defensively against Detroit, and they still managed to find holes to take advantage. Their ball movement helped add to their quality shooting night as they shot 50 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from 3-point range.</p><p>The Pistons faced the Bucks this past Wednesday with similar circumstances. Milwaukee drew up its zone defense again to limit Detroit’s paint production. The Pistons found a way to correct the mistakes made from the previous game by attacking the gaps of the defense and moving fluently with and without the ball.</p><p>Cunningham led with another double-double, finishing with 23 points and 11 assists. He took care of the ball effectively by only turning the ball over only three times.</p><p>Forward Isaiah Stewart started for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/detroit-pistons/pistons-news-is-tobias-harris-playing-tonight-pistons-vs-bucks-injury-report">injured veteran Tobias Harris</a>, who was dealing with an ankle injury. Stewart picked up the slack offensively for the Pistons by scoring 19 points in 25 minutes. Center Jalen Duren continued his impressive breakout play with a double-double of his own, scoring 16 points and grabbing 16 rebounds.</p><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/Jaden-Ivey.jpg"><figcaption>Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p> </p><h2>Jaden Ivey continues slow progression</h2><p>The Pistons continue to slowly work shooting guard Jaden Ivey back into their rotation. He remains on a 15-minute playing restriction and is finding ways to stay productive in his role off the bench.</p><p>Ivey has been one of the most prominent scorers for the Pistons over the past several seasons, but is not immediately pressing to try and get back in that groove. He finished against the Bucks with 10 points off the bench with five rebounds. Ivey has remained patient with his offensive attacking and is playing within the flow of the team more. Pistons’ head coach <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxdC6TPYA_4" rel="noopener">J.B. Bickerstaff shared his views</a> on the adaptation of the first-round shooting guard.</p><p>“It’s continued growth. I can’t say it enough, but what he’s doing is difficult. To go 11 months without playing an NBA game and then coming back and having to play at NBA speed in the middle of the season is just not easy. But again, he’s a guy who’s embraced the challenge,” Bickerstaff explained.</p><p>“He’s going out there and competing with his teammates. His teammates love having him out there…The minute restriction isn’t easy on him; trying to play in small doses, trying to catch a rhythm and find a rhythm. But I think he’s doing a great job of it. He made big shots in the fourth quarter to help us stretch that lead out. You see the confidence coming back in all his abilities.”</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite that, shortly after making his Super Bowl prediction, Cade Cunningham shared plenty of kind words <a href="https://x.com/CotyDavis_24/status/1996738678803386431" rel="noopener">about all of the pro teams</a> in Detroit.</p><p>“Man, it’s fun. Fun times,” said Cunningham about all of the sports teams in Detroit playing well. “I think the city has brought a lot of life to the success we’ve had on the field and on the court. This is a great place to be doing it. It’s been a lot of fun, man. It’s cool to be a part of, and it’s cool to watch, as far as the Lions and the [Red] Wings and all the success that’s been going on.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Pistons?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Pistons</a> Cade Cunningham appears to be conflicted about who to root for tonight. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Lions?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Lions</a> vs. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Cowboys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Cowboys</a> 😂 <a href="https://t.co/aKnngd07jl">pic.twitter.com/aKnngd07jl</a></p><p>— Coty M.

Thus, on Monday night, they took another haymaker from another aspiring East contender in the Atlanta Hawks even though they were on the second night of a back-to-back. But in the end, the Pistons buckled down on defense and Cade Cunningham brought them home with a few clutch backets en route to a 99-98 win.</p><p>Cunningham scored eight of the Pistons’ final 10 points of the ballgame, including the final two field-goals for his team which put the game out of reach for the Hawks despite their best attempts at the end to steal the win. The Pistons star is the league leader in fourth-quarter points this season thus far for a reason, and he shone yet again when it mattered the most — putting elite defenders such as Dyson Daniels and Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the blender.</p><p>The Pistons star, who finished with 18 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and a ridiculous seven steals on the night, expressed his thoughts on <a href="https://twitter.com/Pistons__Talk/status/1995691499267272844" rel="noopener">earning his team</a> another hard-fought victory.</p><p>“I mean, it’s just trusting my work, trusting, you know, my Lord, trusting my faith, and you know, my teammates trust me with the ball. So, you know, that’s my time to go out there and do something with it,” Cunningham said in his postgame interview with FanDuel Sports Network’s Natalie Kerwin.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Cade Cunningham on taking over in the 4th quarter</p><p>“I mean, it’s just trusting my work, trusting, you know, my Lord, trusting my faith, and you know, my teammates trust me with the ball.

He is off to a blazing hot start to the 2025-26 campaign as he helped Detroit leap to the top spot of the Eastern Conference standings. His performances have been remarkable, creating an early MVP case for the young guard.</p><p>However, the contest against the Magic put the Pistons in a tough spot. Detroit trailed in the final seconds as Cunningham went to the free-throw line. Needing a 3-pointer to tie the game, he missed his last attempt on purpose as he got the ball to go right back to him as he passed it out to Duncan Robinson for the attempt from downtown.

The tempo remained the same in the second half as the visitors made enough big play down the stretch to stun the hosts and escape with the road win.</p><p>Steals, turnovers and inside scoring made the difference in this matchup. The Magic prevailed in all three categories by making 15 steals, limiting their turnovers to just 14 and scoring 62 points inside the paint. It wasn’t the same for the Pistons as they had seven steals, turned the ball over 24 times and produced 46 points inside the paint.</p><p>Three players scored in double-digits for Detroit in the loss, including Cunningham. He dominated with a stat line of 39 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. He shot 13-of-26 from the field, including 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, and 9-of-12 from the free-throw line. Tobias Harris came next with 18 points and five rebounds, while Jalen Duren put up 16 points and 12 rebounds.</p><p>Detroit fell to a 15-4 record on the season but maintain the top spot of the Eastern Conference standings.
