It was a big night for the lower-seeded road teams, who all won their games and created 2-1 series, whether ahead or behind. The Atlanta Hawks, fueled by some great team defense, Jonathan Kuminga off the bench and a go-ahead shot from new "villain" CJ McCollum, beat the New York Knicks 109-108 to take a 2-1 series lead. Then came the Toronto Raptors, who stayed alive in a 126-104 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. They're still down 2-1, but massive nights from Scottie Barnes, RJ Barrett and several youngsters gave the Cavs something to think about. And finally, the Minnesota Timberwolves thumped the Denver Nuggets 113-99, despite foul trouble for Anthony Edwards. What was up with Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray (besides missing Aaron Gordon)?

Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down the Pistons’ Game 2 win, spotlighting Cade Cunningham’s efficient 27-point, 11-assist effort and key contributions from Jalen Duren and Ausar Thompson. The conversation explores Orlando’s shooting woes, questions about their ability to bounce back at home, and whether this was just a bad run or a sign of deeper problems for the Magic’s offense.
