The Detroit Pistons remained unbeaten Sunday night, defeating the Philadelphia 76ers 106–93 on the road behind 26 points from Cade Cunningham.
Cunningham added eight rebounds and eight assists. John Collins contributed 16 points and 11 rebounds as Detroit improved to 3–0 despite playing without starters Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson.
Duncan Robinson scored 21 points and Daniss Jenkins added 18. Philadelphia’s Tyrese Maxey finished with 29 points, while LeBron James scored 18. The Sixers fell to 3–1 after playing on consecutive nights and never led in Sunday’s game.
Detroit established control early and led 56–44 at halftime. Philadelphia closed within four points early in the final quarter, but Robinson answered with a three-pointer and another basket to help restore the visitors’ cushion.
The Pistons also held a 54–37 rebounding advantage. Their 15 offensive rebounds produced 24 second-chance points, giving them extra possessions as the Sixers tried to recover.
The result leaves Detroit’s perfect start intact after a meeting between teams that had entered the night without a loss.
