The Detroit Pistons returned to NBA action from the All-Star break in explosive fashion.
The Pistons marched right into Madison Square Garden for their first regular season game in a week Thursday night. Without Jalen Duren or Isaiah Stewart, the Pistons beat the New York Knicks 126 to 111. It was the third and final time the two teams matched up against each other this season.
On the same night Pistons superstar Cade Cunningham was announced as the newest cover athlete for GQ magazine, he dropped 42 points, dished out 13 assists to teammates, and snagged eight rebounds off the glass.
This complete performance by one of the league’s best superstar woke up a few more people before the start of the playoffs this April. Slowly but surely the rest of the national media is coming around to the idea of the Detroit Pistons representing the Eastern conference in the NBA Finals this season.
