Thunder breaks Detroit drought

The Oklahoma City Thunder won in Detroit for the first time since 2021. The Thunder faced a ferocious crowd and a fired-up Pistons team after former OSU Cowboy Cade Cunningham was ejected from the game in the second half. You knew it was coming, and the Thunder didn't get rattled - AGAIN.

Key moments in Saturday's game

The key moments arrived in the 4th quarter. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scores on a 9-footer to give Oklahoma City a four-point lead with under 3:00 to play. Shai followed that up with a driving layup. With 1:33 left in the game, Shai spots Cason Wallace in the corner for a 3-pointer to give the Thunder a 7-point cushion.
