Detroit has looked like the more composed team late in games so far. Cunningham finished Game 2 with 25 points and 10 assists, scoring 12 in the fourth quarter while continuing a breakout postseason run that already included a 45-point performance against Orlando in Round 1. Tobias Harris has also been huge for the Pistons, giving Detroit consistent veteran scoring and physicality throughout the playoffs.

For Cleveland, Game 3 already feels close to must-win territory. Donovan Mitchell has carried much of the offensive load, scoring 31 points in Game 2, but the Cavaliers have struggled badly from three-point range and continue to lose the turnover battle in key moments. Cleveland shot just 7-for-32 from deep in Game 2, including 0-for-11 in the fourth quarter, while Detroit closed the game on another decisive run.
