Cade Cunningham came through for the Pistons when they needed him. Cunningham had a franchise playoff-record 45 points and the top-seeded Pistons held off the eighth-seeded Magic for a 116-109 win on Wednesday night in Game 5 of their first-round series, avoiding elimination for at least a couple of days. “We dug ourselves a hole and now it’s time to climb our way out,” Cunningham said.
