Fraud Allegations Against Pistons Dismissed

With a little under 10 minutes left in his team's Game 7 romp against the Orlando Magic, Cade Cunningham surveyed the floor. Like a wounded animal making a violent lurch, the exhausted Magic defense chose to attack, springing a double-team. Cunningham calmly beckoned forth Javonte Green, who clanked a wide-open three. Detroit rebounded the miss, the ball came back to Cunningham, and the Magic sprung an even more desperate double team.
This time, Cunningham knew exactly where it was coming from, dribbled away from it, and, impervious to the pressure of two on-ball defenders and rotating help, eyed both the basket and the two far-side shooters that Tristan Da Silva could not simultaneously cover. With his eyes, Cunningham manipulated the Brazilian into leaping out toward Duncan Robinson at the top of the key, then lasered a perfect pass to Daniss Jenkins in the far corner. Bucket.
