We didn’t expect this Pistons – Blazers to be THE match to watch at the start of the night, but we were wrong. Detroit and Portland delivered a banger and in the end, it was Cade Cunningham’s band that won 118 – 115.
At the start of the NBA night, we instinctively started the 76ers – Suns except that we quickly switched to the show offered by the Blazers and the Pistons. At the start of the second quarter, Portland even had the luxury of going 17-0 ahead of the Pistons to take a 22-point lead.
Such a clean swish, Simons fixed the net ????

However, have we stopped following this match? Absolutely not because we know the Blazers are capable of the best (rarely) as well as the worst and it is in the worst that they are the best.
In the second half, it was Cade Cunningham who decided to put Michigan on his back to begin a comeback and one thing led to another and the Pistons came back full force in the Blazers’ retro.
Blazers coach Chauncey Billups on Cade Cunningham pregame: “In my mind there’s no question at all he’s an All-Star.”

The fourth quarter begins and begins a mano-a-mano as improbable as it is incredible between Tim Hardaway Jr and Anfernee Simons. The first was incandescent and he finished the match with 26 points at 10/15 shooting. For his part, Ant-man really tried everything except that he broke down in the final moments. With a minute to go, he had the opportunity to put Portland back in front, but he couldn’t find the target.
Tim Hardaway AGAIN ????

On the other side, it’s Malik Beasley who sets the table at 3-points. The Oregon franchise is down and will not get back up. Detroit escapes from the trap set by Portland and wins 118 – 115.
Print the following sentence carefully because it may surprise you. : As of January 7, 2025, the Detroit Pistons have a positive record of 18 wins for 18 losses.
