The biggest difference between the Washington Wizards and Detroit Pistons on Tuesday was that the Pistons had Cade Cunningham on their side.After the first-time All-Star had 27 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in Detroit’s 123-103 victory over Washington, the Pistons will once again play host to their Eastern Conference foe on Thursday.Detroit built a 17-point halftime lead on Tuesday, and Washington was no match for a team that sits in sixth place of the Eastern Conference.”They have one guy who controls the flow of their game,” Wizards coach Brian Keefe said of Cunningham. “I thought we did a decent job, especially in the second half. We just have to clean up those boards. We have to finish possessions.”Cunningham has been in charge of the flow on a regular basis. He has scored at least 27 points in five straight games, the longest streak of his career. He is averaging 30.4 points, 7.8 assists and 4.8 rebounds with 1.6 steals while shooting 53.8 percent from the field during the stretch.Not only will the Wizards have to contain Cunningham, they’ll need to be tougher in the paint to avenge Tuesday’s loss. The Pistons controlled the boards with a season-high 61 rebounds, 14 more than Washington.The Pistons also had a 58-44 advantage on points in the paint. Detroit has not been outscored in the paint in 22 straight games and have averaged a plus-14.8 margin in the paint during that span.”We just play with a physical force, and that’s our intent,” Detroit coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “Our intent is to be as physical on the offensive end of the floor as we are on the defensive end of the floor.”We want to put a ton of foul pressure on people. We want to put guys under duress, make people have to help and collapse in the paint. If they don’t help and collapse, we have guys that are capable of making shots.”
