When the Detroit Pistons needed a playoff hero, Tobias Harris answered the call. The veteran forward has suddenly transformed into the postseason force the Motor City has been craving, and he showed it once again in Game 2 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Harris scored at least 20 points for the seventh straight game on Thursday night, powering the Pistons to a commanding 107-97 victory at Little Caesars Arena. With the win, Detroit now holds a 2-0 series lead—and they're looking every bit like a team on a mission.

While Harris delivered a steady 21 points on 9-of-16 shooting, it was Cade Cunningham who turned up the heat when it mattered most. The young star exploded for 12 points in the fourth quarter alone, finishing with 25 points and 10 assists. His signature moment came with 2:12 left on the clock: a slick right-to-left crossover into a stepback three-pointer over Max Strus, stretching the lead to 101-92 and sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

Donovan Mitchell did everything he could for Cleveland, pouring in 31 points, but the Cavaliers simply couldn't find their rhythm from deep. They went ice cold in the fourth quarter, missing all 11 of their three-point attempts and finishing the night at just 21.9% from beyond the arc (7-for-32).

Ausar Thompson helped seal the deal with 33 seconds remaining, stripping James Harden on a drive with the Pistons clinging to a 103-97 lead. It was the kind of defensive stop that defines playoff basketball.

Daniss Jenkins also made his presence felt, scoring 14 points and continuing his torrid play. His buzzer-beating three-pointer at the end of the third quarter—the Pistons' third such buzzer-beater in the series—gave Detroit a 79-75 edge heading into the final frame.

The Cavaliers briefly answered with a 6-0 run to reclaim their first lead since early in the game, but the Pistons held firm. Every time Cleveland threatened, Detroit had an answer.

Now the series shifts to Cleveland for Game 3 on Saturday, with the Pistons looking to take a stranglehold on the matchup. Game 4 follows on Monday night. If Harris and Cunningham keep playing at this level, the Cavaliers may be running out of answers.
