Detroit Pistons lead the Cleveland Cavaliers 2-0 in the second-round NBA playoff series as the matchup shifts to Cleveland for Game 3. Cade Cunningham paced Detroit with 25 points and 10 assists in Game 2 to stake the Pistons to the two-game edge. Oklahoma City Thunder also lead the Los Angeles Lakers 2-0 and arrive in Los Angeles riding a six-game playoff winning streak led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. A Game 3 loss would leave Cleveland or Los Angeles down 3-0, putting those teams on the brink of elimination and giving Detroit or Oklahoma City a commanding path forward.
