Cleveland Cavaliers vs Detroit Pistons – FULL GAME HIGHLIGHTS | October 27, 2025 NBA Season

[Music] First week of the NBA season begins its close in Detroit. Little Caesar’s Arena with two Eastern Conference contenders, the two-1 Cavaliers and the 2 and1 Pistons going to battle and excited to be bringing you this one. We welcome you courtside two in a row trying to keep that rolling and start to make their way towards the top of the Eastern Conference. Cleveland controls and we’re underway from Little Caesar’s Arena yesterday in the win over Milwaukee at home. 118 1113 home opener for Cleveland as Hunter returned to the lineup and he loves it up for Allen. See how Duncan Robinson right that’s a tough tag to get because Sam Merrill has been on fire. He’s the weak side help defender and that’s why there was nobody at the rim. Just took a massive leap in his development now a bonafide star in the NBA. Tobias Harris got hot early yesterday and stays that way today. He did in turning this Pistons team around. tripled their win total last year. One of the best single season turnarounds in NBA history. Duncan Robinson. He has KG like potential. Man, this guy could be a threele scoreer at his side to be unstoppable. But Austin, what did you find about aggressive here on a five on four around it goes for Hunter three short rebound track down Duran. Oh, he knocked it away from Robinson and Allen has a chance for three. Cross to inside for Duran and it looked like a lot of contact. No foul called on Mobly. It’s a five on four. Merryill pump dribble. Merryill automatic. Hey, listen man. Again had to battle back before halftime and then eventually run away with it down the stretch. Merryill pump. You see the respect from defender him. You know what he can shoot the basketball as. But then if you do help, he is locked and loaded. Yep. Cunningham. That is tough. Season only shot 53% from the free throw line. Below 70% for his career. Cunningham pass. Oh, denied by Moley there. Hunter going for that steal and Dur with the quick feet, a little spin move gets to his right jump hook. Swing, swing. Hunter connects right now. Their team trying to trying to find minutes for some of these players. How about knowing that the big guys out here handling the ball? We’ve seen Isaiah Stewart bring it up there. Tyson making the most of his minutes. We talked about earlier today Kenny raving about him on defense. My goodness, what a move by Mitchell for great offense. No question. Not not great for Donovan, but it’s good for their team. That was not great offense from Stewart. Gives it away. Tyson tried to hesitate. Stewart got back defensively. Second chance. It’s Allen working on Harris for two. Like who’s going to make plays and who’s going to score? It’s probably going to have to be Tobias Harris. Robbie, I was just thinking the same thing on who Oh my goodness. Mitchell game this year. They said he was still a rookie, so he had to go through all his rookie duties. He was getting the donuts in training camp. Proctor had the show. Four minutes gone here in the second. Cleveland looking to extend. It’s Wade for three. If Detroit wants to make this competitive, K’s just going to have to make tough shots. Deep one. Merrill. Got it. First half. Green knocked away by Merrill and he keeps it in bounds. Merryill race to the rim. Leave it for Alex. Jenkins puts the head down, gets past Porter. Jenkins on the attack. Spray it out right there. Harris open look for three. They’re getting a little chippy. This is exactly what Stewart wants. Hook it. During tough, he’s also a guy you don’t mess with. Not at all. He’s I said hi to him before the game. I gave him a firm handshake and eye contact. There’s a three ball on Cunningham. Duran already three, foul is off the floor. Hunter is good and he has a chance for four. Shot clock turned off. 4 seconds left. Here’s Mitchell. 2 seconds left. Mitchell attacks close. Bakes it home. A three. That’s too him and Evan Mobley came out without their shooting shirt. I’m assuming just due to how cold it is in here with the icy move by. So four fouls and let’s see if JB Bigger Staff trusts his young center once again. Bounce it. Allen. Duran couldn’t contest it and Allen takes flight. Find any angle. Now Mitchell going to work against Robinson. Mitchell snatch back three ball. Money has some. This is a disappointing effort from a team that prides itself in Detroit being a gritty defensive unit. Cunningham finally. This is a trip around and finally secured. Here’s Donovan Mitchell. Oh, cross sham guy. That is absurd. Can’t hit it. Mitchell looking for more. Uh-oh. Watch the pull up. Watch the hesy over the top. Float game. Couldn’t finish it. Bounce it. There’s Paul Reed. He’s coming in here to make things happen. That’s a pro. No question. Holland. No hesitation. Hits the three. He’s going now. Detroit get it to within a striking distance going into the fourth. Give themselves some life. That’s not going to help. Turnover. Allen. Frank to the rim. Jared Allen. The throw. Fact of the matter is that Detroit is just not going to win games when he’s three of first 14 from the field. Porter circles, hangs, and hits. Noah talked about that. And he’s going to be aggressive here. Stewart working on Allen. Three to shoot. Trying to squeeze it in. He did for Javante Green. With the way that Marilyn has played and you know what you’re going to get from the bigs in Diamond Mitchell, this is a terrifying game. This is a terrifying ceiling. Points off turnovers. They were second in fast break points. Just none have been there tonight to give them some easy buckets. Jenkins hits a three. Touch the rim. Spray it out for an open three. Jenkins pays it off. Wade Mitchell. Yes, sir. My lost in a series they lost by five games. Feel like you win those two. Maybe things are a little bit different even with the injuries that they did have as Moy knocks down a three. It’s been nearly all good news tonight for Cleveland as Jenkins takes it away. The swipe and score, but there is some level of bad news. Sam Merrill has been ruled out for the rest of the night with a hip contusion. So the guy that Kenny Atinson said has been after he went 15 of 29 in his first three games of the season. Just scorching hot from downtown. Nance will try. He’ll hit a three. The sacrifice has to happen, right? and he’s he’s a high character guy coast to coast for Jenkins for the deuce and Jenkins because they can certainly show JB Vickers staff something here in this last 945 that they deserve more time on the floor. Evan Mobley deserves all the time possible. Yes, he does. Here’s Laneir right there. Evan Mobley deserves all the time possible. Yes, he does. Here’s Laneir. There you go. rattles right there. That’s what he needs to do. Big time shooter out of Tennessee. He needs to do big time shooter out of Tennessee. Hasn’t shot the ball yet thus far. Was one for five from three coming. He just cold them lane misfires. That Duke education. Yeah, you’re right. We don’t We don’t get it. We don’t get it with the Harbor of Central New York. I don’t think they’re scoring, you know. Cuz he’s just out here doing whatever he want. Look at that. He is falling. Another absurd finish, but his look plus minus doesn’t always tell you the full story except for today when Donovan Mitchell was at plus 40 games. He was a fourth team division three all-American. I I’ve never heard of a four teamer, but he made it right to Malik Beasley or Tim Hardaway Jr. were. You’ve got Duncan Robinson. You know Kate Cuttingham is going to attract a lot of attention. You know that lane’s going to be There was an interesting point that Kenny Atinson brought up with Tyresese Proctor. You know, he’s a young guy as a rookie coming into the NBA. And yet, you think about all these huge games. You think about role players who don’t play every game and play spotted minutes, how hard it is to not only come in and have an impact, but be consistent. What a pass. Proctor finds Brian to keep their rhythm alive cuz they don’t get in-game reps. It’s very hard to emulate this type of pace and physicality and it’s hard to emulate this adrenaline. So when these guys get in the game for Toronto, Atlanta, and Philly before their first Cup game at Washington. Oh, nice pocket pass and the finish. Final 90 seconds here in Detroit. Jenkins kick it. Laneir got the three. Just like now it’s a team field goal attempt on a heave. All dressing when it’s all said and done. A dominant effort by Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers 116 to 95 to win their third consecutive game and do it in style on the road in Detroit. [Applause] [Music] Detroit all five Cleveland starters in double figures. Mitchell with 35 points, a plus 38
