Top Teams Collide in San Antonio
The Detroit Pistons roll into San Antonio on Thursday with fire in their eyes. They've won three straight games and sit at the top of the Eastern Conference with a 45-15 record. The Spurs aren't far behind at 44-17, holding second place in the West.
Cunningham Leads the Charge
Cade Cunningham has been magnificent for Detroit. The tall point guard is scoring about 26 points per game while dishing out nearly 10 assists. He looks like a general on the court, directing his teammates with sharp passes. In their last game against Cleveland, he dished out 14 assists in a close loss.
Wembanyama Anchors San Antonio
Victor Wembanyama stands like a skyscraper in the paint. The seven-foot-four center swats away shots and grabs rebounds on every possession. He's averaging about 23 points and 12 rebounds this season. When he extends his long arms, opponents see nothing but rejection.
The Big Battle
Jalen Duren has been unstoppable lately for Detroit. He's grabbed double-digit rebounds in almost all of their games while scoring about 19 points. His powerful dunks shake the rim. De'Aaron Fox runs the Spurs offense with speed and smarts, averaging about 21 points and six assists.
