Pistons Stay Undefeated, Dethrone Sixers 106-93
26 Oct
Summary
- Cade Cunningham led the Detroit Pistons to a 106-93 victory.
- The Pistons maintained their undefeated streak, now 3-0.
- The Sixers suffered their first loss after starting with three wins.
The Detroit Pistons secured a 106-93 victory against the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday night, maintaining their perfect 3-0 record. Cade Cunningham was the standout performer with 26 points, supported by John Collins' 16 points and 11 rebounds. This win marked the Pistons' first game without All-Star center Jalen Duren, who is expected to be out for at least two weeks due to a strained right hamstring.
The Pistons controlled the game from the outset, building a significant lead that they sustained throughout. The Sixers, playing on the second night of a back-to-back and without starters Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe, struggled to find a consistent rhythm. Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia with 29 points, and LeBron James added 18, but their efforts fell short. The Sixers had previously started their season with three consecutive wins, including a notable 29-point comeback.
Despite late pushes by the Sixers, the Pistons consistently responded to maintain their advantage. A key moment came in the fourth quarter when Duncan Robinson hit a crucial three-pointer, stifling a Sixers rally that had cut the deficit to four points. The Pistons' strong offensive performance, including 14 three-pointers, proved too much for Philadelphia.
