The Pistons aced their first test of the non-Cade minutes.
PistonPowered's Aaron Kellerstrass argues that the Detroit Pistons showed their most encouraging sign of game one by thriving while Cade Cunningham sat on the bench. Detroit generated an 18-point portion of a decisive 23-0 run without Cunningham on the floor, relying on improved three-point shooting and alternate ball handlers to take control of the contest.
Kellerstrass highlights Ausar Thompson and Daniss Jenkins for directing the offense during the stretch. Thompson recorded five assists across multiple passing roles, which Kellerstrass views as crucial development to reduce Cunningham's offensive burden over the course of the season.
