Pistons show resilience in 113-109 victory over Magic in season opener

DETROIT — If there's anything to take away from the Pistons' first game of the 2022-23 campaign, regardless of the score, it's the team's resilience.

With 11.6 seconds left in the game, Cade Cunningham drove to the basket and dished to a wide open Isaiah Stewart, who calmly knocked down a shot he'd been practicing throughout the offseason.

Despite a late rally by Orlando, Detroit maintained composure and held on for a 113-109 victory — its first win in a season opener since Oct. 23, 2019, when Detroit beat the Indiana Pacers, 119-110.
