Pistons' teal night, Cunningham's career night spoiled in 136-112 loss to Hawks

DETROIT — Little Caesars Arena resembled the Palace Of Auburn Hills from of the late 1990's era on Friday night as the Pistons donned their nostalgic teal jerseys for the first time since April 18, 2001.

With a court to match Detroit's Classic Edition uniforms, a wave of history permeated throughout the arena as the Pistons faced the Atlanta Hawks for the second time in three days. Pistons greats Ben Wallace, Lindsey Hunter and Terry Mills, who all wore teal during their time with the franchise, were in attendance to watch their former team.

And it was an offensive battle between the team's two point guards as Cade Cunningham and Trae Young swapped baskets for the majority of the game.
