On Thursday, the Pistons will welcome the New York Knicks to Detroit for their Game 3 matchup with the series tied 1-1. Pistons star Cade Cunningham has a lot on his plate heading into the game, but he has surely stepped up throughout his first playoff series.

It wasn’t just a win for the Pistons, but a historic moment. Cunningham finished with 33 points and 12 rebounds, and the Pistons captured their first playoff victory in nearly 18 years, defeating the Knicks 100-94 in their own arena to tie the series, 1-1.

Before Game 2 of the Detroit Pistons' first-round series against the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Monday, coach J.B. Bickerstaff offered his perspective on teaching his young team about playoff basketball: You can tell players how it's different from the regular season but they still have to feel it for themselves.
