The Pistons and Cavaliers will meet for Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semfinals on Sunday to determine who will take on the Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals. New York took care of the 76ers via sweep in the second round, but the Detroit-Cleveland series has gone the distance after the Pistons’ impressive road win on Friday.
Before Friday, the Cavs hadn't lost at home this postseason as they looked to close out the Pistons following their overtime thriller in Game 5. After Detroit came back from a 3–1 hole to eliminate the Magic in Round 1, the Pistons found themselves in a similar spot—with their backs against the wall and needing a win to keep a magical season alive.
