Pistons Beat Thunder 124-116 as Duren, Cunningham Score 29 Each

The Pistons improved to 43-14 with dominant second and third quarters, while Cunningham and Duren each recorded double-doubles in the absence of six key Thunder players.

  • On Wednesday night, the Detroit Pistons beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 124-116 in a nationally televised matchup framed as a possible NBA Finals preview.
  • Facing a depleted roster, the Thunder was without their top six scorers, including Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Chet Holmgren, by the game's end, leaving a heavily short-handed team.
  • Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren led Detroit with 29 points each, and Cunningham recorded three blocks, his third consecutive game, while Robinson added 16 points.
  • Despite a career night from Williams, Oklahoma City narrowed the Pistons' lead to three in the fourth, but couldn't complete the comeback, the game reports.
  • Poor second- and third-quarter shooting for Oklahoma City allowed Detroit to outscore them 132-46 in those quarters, shifting offensive and defensive momentum.
