Detroit Pistons star guard Cade Cunningham rather relished his team ending a dubious playoff losing streak as head coach J.B. Bickerstaff works to keep his team focused.

Cunningham scored 33 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in a Game 2 win over the New York Knicks, 100–94, at Madison Square Garden. That ended the Pistons’ NBA-record 15-game playoff losing streak, which dated back to Game 4 in the 2008 Eastern Conference finals.
