Detroit — Was this going to be a re-run, NBA style?
Pistons rookie guard Cade Cunningham takes on powerful team from the East and ignores whatever might be ailing him to put on a scoring show that…falls just short.
That’s what happened when he matched his season high two nights prior in a seven-point loss at Brooklyn.
Thursday night, at Little Casears Arena against Philadelphia, Cunningham got 27 points to hold his own against scoring beasts Joel Embiid (37 points, 15 rebounds) and James Harden (18 points, nine rebounds).
