Cade was asked about this play today:

"It was the best lob pass I ever had, so I wanted to make sure I scored it."

Cade Cunningham manage to control the bad alley-oop pass by Tobias Harris, move the ball to his left hand and finishing the reverse alley-oop layup.

SICK

With replays.

Cade on overcoming the slow start last night: “The urgency was up. We got stops, rebounded and ran. I think that’s when we’re at our best.”

Ron chased down Aldama and blocked a layup attempt, then found Robinson open in the corner with an on-target pass. 3 didn't fall, but nice pair of plays for Ron

Pistons open the 2nd half with Ausar, Holland, Robinson, LeVert and Stewart. Have to assume Cade's done for the night. Scored 20 points on 8-11 shooting in the 1st half, with 4 assists

That was a nice stepback 3 by Cade. Then Reed threads the needle to Robinson in transition. Pistons are on a 15-2 run and have whittled a 21-point deficit to eight, 55-47

That was a nice move by Ausar for the transition bucket. Gathered through contact and hit a left handed floater

The Ausar-Ron combo is opening things up for the Pistons. Grizzlies call timeout after a 7-0 Pistons run to open the 2nd

Pistons open the 2nd with an Ausar-LeVert-Robinson-Holland-Stewart lineup. It's point Ausar time

End of 1: Grizzlies 42, Pistons 24. Pistons already have nine turnovers and look not great so far. Memphis is 9-11 from 3. Cade’s got 9 points on 4-5 shooting.
