DETROIT (AP) --- Cade Cunningham scored 23 points, Tobias Harris had 20 and the
Detroit Pistons beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 111-101 on Tuesday night in Game 1
of their second-round series.
Duncan Robinson added 19 points for the top-seeded Pistons, who ended an NBA
record-tying 12-game postseason losing streak against a single opponent, a
drought that dated to the 2007 Eastern Conference finals.
Game 2 is Thursday night in Detroit.
Cleveland's Donovan Mitchell scored 23 points, ending his NBA-record streak of
scoring 30-plus points in nine straight series openers.
James Harden had 22 points and Max Stus scored 19 for the No. 4-seeded Cavs,
who pulled into a tie midway through the fourth quarter after trailing for most
of the night and by as much as 18 points.
Cleveland center Jarrett Allen was limited to two points and three rebounds,
coming off a 22-point, 19-rebound performance in an elimination game against
Toronto.
