The Pistons had multiple chances to seize the momentum in crunch time, but they fell short. Cade Cunningham cut the lead to two, 110-108, with a gutsy three-pointer before Harden sank the crucial bucket.

If Huerter and LeVert cannot suit up, more playing time will be available for Daniss Jenkins , Javonte Green , and Ron Holland II.
