Feb 22 2025

The Detroit Pistons delivered a stunning performance, clinching a remarkable 125-110 victory over the San Antonio Spurs. The game was highlighted by Cade Cunningham's exceptional performance, where he scored 25 points and dished out 12 assists, playing a pivotal role in a crucial 19-0 run that secured the Pistons' fifth consecutive win.

Cunningham's impact was undeniable as he contributed seven crucial points during the game-changing run, which commenced in the final minute of the first half and seamlessly transitioned into the second half, setting the tone for Detroit's dominance.

Alongside Cunningham, Jalen Duren showcased his prowess with 21 points and an impressive 15 rebounds, while Tobias Harris added 22 points to the scoreboard. Malik Beasley also made a significant contribution with 16 points, including four successful 3-pointers, further solidifying the Pistons' commanding performance. Beasley's recent form has been exceptional, with 29 successful shots from beyond the arc in the last five games.

On the opposing side, Keldon Johnson led the San Antonio Spurs with 28 points, closely followed by De'Aaron Fox, who contributed 27 points. The Spurs, who recently faced the news of star player Victor Wembanyama's season-ending injury due to a blood clot in his shoulder, put up a valiant effort but fell short against the Pistons' relentless momentum.

Notably, Detroit outrebounded San Antonio 52-33, with a significant 19 offensive rebounds that translated into 21 crucial second-chance points, underscoring the Pistons' dominance on the court.

Despite San Antonio's initial 10-0 run that saw them leading by 10 points towards the end of the first half, the Pistons rallied back, with Fox and Johnson's impressive performances not being enough to withstand Detroit's size advantage inside and their precise 3-point shooting.

The defining moment of the game was the Pistons' 19-0 run, a combination of effective long-range shooting and high-percentage shots, including three 3-pointers and four layups or dunks. This surge transformed a 62-57 deficit into a commanding 76-62 lead, solidifying Detroit's control over the game.

Detroit's dominance extended to the paint, outscoring the Spurs 62-58, marking the 12th consecutive game where the Pistons either outperformed or equaled their opponents in this crucial area.
