PREVIEW: The Detroit Pistons visit Cleveland with a 2-0 series lead, having advanced through the Eastern Conference semifinals after both teams survived Game 7s in the first round. The Cavaliers have struggled in Detroit, falling 107-97 in Game 2 after mounting a comeback that ultimately fizzled in the final minutes. Donovan Mitchell has been the primary offensive engine, scoring 31 points with 19 coming in the second half of Game 2, while Jarrett Allen added 22 points and seven rebounds. James Harden's inefficiency has been a glaring issue, managing just 10 points on poor shooting while committing four turnovers in what observers called potentially his worst performance in a Cavaliers uniform. For Detroit, Cade Cunningham continues to elevate his game when it matters most, tallying 25 points and 10 assists in Game 2 while the Pistons' suffocating defense limited Cleveland to just 21.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The Cavaliers find themselves in a treacherous 0-2 hole with a chance to even the series at home in Cleveland for Games 3 and 4. Injury concerns loom for both squads heading into Game 3, with Sam Merrill questionable for Cleveland while Kevin Huerter remains doubtful for Detroit. History weighs heavily on Cleveland, as the franchise sits 3-8 all-time after falling behind 0-2 in best-of-seven series, and no NBA team has ever recovered from an 0-3 deficit.
