Pistons Outlast Short-Handed Cavs 122-119 in OT After Horn Delay
The game featured an 18-minute delay in the third quarter when a power surge caused a blaring horn at the arena. Cade Cunningham added 25 points and 10 rebounds for Detroit, though he fouled out late in regulation. The Pistons rallied from a nine-point deficit in the final minutes to force overtime.
Cleveland, missing stars James Harden and Donovan Mitchell, led by Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Jaylon Tyson’s intentional foul attempt failed, allowing Daniss Jenkins to hit three free throws that tied the game. Mobley missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer in overtime, sealing the loss for Cleveland.
