DETROIT (AP) --- Cade Cunningham had 25 points and 10 assists, Tobias Harris
scored 21 points and the Detroit Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 107-97 on
Thursday night to take a 2-0 lead in their second-round series.
Game 3 is Saturday in Cleveland, where the Cavs were 4-0 in the first round
against Toronto.
The top-seeded Pistons have won five straight games since Orlando put them on
the brink of elimination in the first round.
Donovan Mitchell scored 31 points and Jarrett Allen had 22 points and seven
rebounds, bouncing back from a poor performance in Game 1 for the fourth-seeded
Cavs.
James Harden, though, missed 10 of 13 shots and was limited to 10 points.
Harden had four turnovers, including one with 33 seconds left when the Cavs
trailed by just six.
Cleveland's Max Strus scored just three points after he had 19 in the series
opener.
Detroit's Duncan Robinson had 17 points, making 5 of 9 3-pointers, and Daniss
Jenkins came off the bench to score 14 points, his third straight game in
double figures.
