Pistons Stun 76ers to Extend Winning Streak to Six
The Detroit Pistons are rolling right now. On Sunday night, they fought their way to a hard-earned 111–108 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers at the Xfinity Mobile Arena, pushing their winning streak to six games. With this win, Detroit improved to an impressive 8–2 record — their best start through ten games since the 2005–06 season when they opened 9–1.
This game had everything you’d want — drama, comebacks, clutch plays, and a star stepping up when it mattered most. Cade Cunningham once again proved why he’s the cornerstone of this young Pistons squad. Despite struggling in the first half, he completely turned things around after halftime, finishing with 26 points and 11 assists — his sixth double-double of the season. Most of his damage came in the third quarter, where he scored 17 points on 5-of-7 shooting, helping the Pistons erase a 13-point deficit and swing the momentum back their way.
Cunningham wasn’t alone in this effort. Jalen Duren was an absolute force in the paint, putting up 21 points and grabbing 16 rebounds, constantly battling against the 76ers’ big men. His energy and rebounding made a massive difference, especially in the closing minutes when every possession counted.

Duncan Robinson also had one of his best games since joining Detroit, contributing 17 points, including four three-pointers, before fouling out with a little under six minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. His outside shooting stretched the floor and kept Philadelphia’s defense on its toes throughout the night.
For the 76ers, Tyrese Maxey and his crew gave a tough fight. There were moments when it looked like Philadelphia might pull away, especially in the first half, but Detroit’s resilience kept the game within reach. The Pistons’ defense tightened up when it mattered most, and their hustle plays down the stretch sealed the deal.
What makes this victory special isn’t just the numbers — it’s the way Detroit is playing. There’s a sense of grit, confidence, and belief that’s becoming their trademark. The young core — Cunningham, Duren, Ausar Thompson, and others — is growing fast, showing poise even in high-pressure situations.
With this win, the Pistons continue to sit near the top of the Eastern Conference standings, turning heads across the league. For fans in Detroit, this feels like a glimpse of something big — a team finally finding its rhythm, chemistry, and winning identity.
As the Pistons ride this six-game streak, one thing’s clear: this isn’t just a lucky run. It’s a statement that Detroit basketball is back — tougher, sharper, and ready to compete with anyone.
