Cunningham’s performance of 32 points and 10 rebounds was key to this turnaround. The Pistons now have a chance to reclaim the series in Detroit on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Toronto Raptors defeated Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, setting up an intense game seven against either the Cavaliers or the Pistons for the Eastern semi-final.
The Lakers secured their place in the Western semi-final with a 98-78 win over Houston, thanks to LeBron James’ dominant performance of 28 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. This victory also spared them from being the first team in NBA history to lose a 3-0 playoff series lead.
