Magic in Motown: Pistons Pull off Incredible win over 76ers

By Calvin Little

There are a lot of tight games in the NBA, each filled with their respective moments, but when it came to last night's game against the 76ers, it was something special. The Pistons were ahead by 1, and with 25 seconds left, Cade Cunningham went into the paint to score a layup and put the Pistons up by 3 with 16 seconds left.

16 seconds may not be a lot of time in other sports, but in basketball, it's an eternity. The 76ers put the ball in the hands of their star player Tyrese Maxey, and just before the buzzer went off, he put it in the air, only for it to miss and bounce off into the hands of a Pistons defender, sealing an insane win for Detroit.

Wins like those aren't only fun to watch, they bring a team together. Allowing the locker room to see themselves win a close game really speaks to the teamwork around that roster, and I don't think that's going anywhere. Now the Pistons take on the Washington Wizards tonight at 7 for what should be another fun, but easy primetime win for Detroit. Let's hope I'm right on that one!
