Pistons coach J.B. Bickerstaff was upset with the officiating after Detroit dropped Game 4 in Cleveland, and he found himself in the same boat one game later.
The Cavaliers stole Game 5 in Detroit with a 117–113 overtime win to mark Cleveland’s first win on the road thus far in the playoffs. The Pistons led Wednesday’s game by as many as 15 points at one point and were up by nine with just three minutes left in regulation, but the Cavs locked in on Detroit’s star Cade Cunningham and flipped the script for a statement win.
