The Detroit Pistons needed some magic from the two Jacksons but it was their three rookies who set the tone in the win over the Cavaliers.

This game was essentially Tankapalooza 2021, as both teams are near the bottom of the NBA and hoping for a top draft pick.

The Pistons sat seven players with various (dubious) injuries in their quest for Cade Cunningham but the young players stepped up as they have all season.

It was the Jackson Two, Frank and Josh who sealed the game for the Pistons late but it was the trio of Saddiq Bey, Killian Hayes and Isaiah Stewart who got things going in the first half.
