After the Pistons’ 14-win season, Cade Cunningham had FOMO watching the playoffs. He texted someone he knew would understand. I spoke with them both for an exclusive on how that text sparked Detroit’s two-year turnaround: nytimes.com/athletic/7196374…

Duncan Robinson looks as confident as ever to start the season. He’s one of the NBA’s best 3-point shooters, and his gravity is making life easier for his Pistons teammates. His impact has been vital to Detroit’s 3-0 start. “He carries so much weight.” nytimes.com/athletic/7725753…

Asked Duncan Robinson how comfortable he feels in the Pistons’ offense at this point: “Good, just trying to be aggressive. Not trying to get too caught up in numbers like that. More so just about process of taking the right shots. … This is a super unselfish group.”

Daniss Jenkins on his mindset tonight: “I hear all the noise. I know I’ve got expectations, I’ve got my own expectations. DJ is a dawg, that’s one thing he is. He don’t back down from nothing. He’s going to come in and get the job done each and every night.”

Cade Cunningham on the Pistons’ 3-0 start: “It don’t matter. We’re going to keep on going and let whatever people that are talking about us say whatever they want to say about us.”

J.B. says he’s liked what he’s seen from Ebuka and that he should have given him more minutes.

J.B. says he hasn’t had time to get an update on Isaiah Joe just yet.

Good game for Daniss as well. He finished with 18 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Pistons hang on to beat the Sixers 106-93. Detroit improves to 3-0. Cade had a team-high 26 points, 8 assists, 8 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks. Duncan had another big game with 21 points on 5/9 from long range.

Fans are heading for the exits here. Pistons are up 104-93 with 1:03 left in the game.

Collins and Tyrese knocked heads and both were slow to get up. They’re up now and seem to be ok for now.

If Ron would’ve finished that…

Xfinity Mobile is locked all the way in right now.

A Daniss shot in third was changed from a 2 to a 3 and now gives the Pistons 79.

Collins and Bona had to be separated and were called for double techs at the end of the quarter. Pistons up 78-69 heading into the fourth.

J.B. is starting to turn to Duncan in ATOs when the Pistons need a bucket to get settled.

Joe is out for the remainder of the game.

Pistons take a 56-44 lead into the half. Cade has a game-high 15 points and 7 assists on 6/10 from the field. Collins has 12 and 8 boards. Duncan has 9 and he’s a game-high +25.

You can tell Cade and Collins are starting to develop more chemistry by the game in the PnR.

Duncan Robinson is now 12/22 from 3 this season. He’s been huge for the Pistons.

Isaiah Joe (hip contusion) is questionable to return.
