Cade Cunningham is probably aimed at a selection of All-NBA and has a case as a MVP finalist in the top two, and further strengthened his case for both of them on Wednesday by banar in the 3 winners of the game with less than a second to play to give the Pistons a 116-113 for heat.
First, Cunningham had to hit a 3 to put the Pistons two with less than a minute to play, then, after a couple of free throws of Tyler Herro, he worked his magic from the top of the key to seal the deal.
Cunningham finished with 25 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and a robbery for its ninth triple-double of the season. The victory was great for the Pistons, who have now won two followed against two tank teams, either by design or not, in New Orleans and Miami to return to the track after losing four of six.
Combined with the loss of Milwaukee in Golden State on Tuesday, the Pistons (39-31), who have almost locked a seed among the top six, there is only one game behind the Bucks (38-30) in the loss column for number 5 in the east with 12 games to play.
Ah, and by the way, Detroit closes his season with consecutive games against Milwaukee. Although Cleveland has been incredible this season and could be the best team in the league, you must think that the bits and pistons would prefer to be at least the seed number 5 to avoid Boston in the first two rounds, or at least to face Indiana instead of New York in the first round.

Of course, both teams continue to point higher for an advantage of seeds and fields of four first in the first round. According to that, the Pistons feel the Pacers for two games in the loss column, but that deficit is effectively three since the paers have sealed the tiebreaker through a 3-1 face to face.
On the other hand, the heat continues to fade quickly since the result of Wednesday night was its ninth consecutive loss. When that loser streak reached eight on Monday, it marked the longest loser streak of the Erak Spoelstra, which dates back to 2008. Now 29-40, Miami has 4-16 from the Jimmy Butler trade. Only the 76ers and the jazz openly have been worse in that section.
In the 10th in the East, the Heat is still five games ahead of the Raptors for the last place in the game tournament. Its first round of 2025 belongs to Thunder, but is protected 1-14 this year before unprotected in 2026.
