While holding on to the embarrassment of last season, the Pistons snapped a five-game losing streak to a divisional foe.

As Pacers guard T.J. McConnell pursued Cunningham from behind, Stewart rolled to the basket. As prescribed, Obi Toppin, Indiana’s forward covering the left corner, dropped into the paint to cover Stewart. Once again, that left Ausar Thompson all alone in the corner.

Friday is a step up in competition in the Detroit Pistons (8-12) who will have star guard and former No. 1 overall pick Cade Cunningham available after his missed the last three games with a hip injury.
