The Detroit Pistons look to tighten their stranglehold on the Eastern Conference Semifinals as they head into Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse with a commanding 2-0 series lead. After a stellar Game 2 performance where Cade Cunningham (25 PTS, 10 AST) and Tobias Harris (21 PTS) neutralized the Cavaliers' home-court aspirations, the pressure is now squarely on Cleveland to protect their house. For the Cleveland Cavaliers, tonight is a "must-win" scenario. Despite Donovan Mitchell's 31-point effort in Game 2, the Cavs struggled from deep, going 0-for-11 from three-point range in the fourth quarter. With James Harden looking to find his rhythm and Jarrett Allen battling in the paint against Jalen Duren, Cleveland must leverage their 4-0 home postseason record to spark a comeback.
