The Detroit Pistons fell 125-94 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, ending a strong playoff run and prompting major roster decisions.
Detroit entered the playoffs as the top seed in the Eastern Conference after a 60-win regular season. The team advanced past Orlando before ultimately falling to Cleveland in seven games. Cade Cunningham, who averaged 23.9 points and 9.9 assists during the regular season, managed only 13 points on 5-of-16 shooting in the finale. Supporting players such as Tobias Harris and Kevin Huerter contributed little, and the team shot just 35.9 percent from three-point range throughout the playoffs.
