EPIC OT THRILLER Cavaliers vs Pistons | February 27, 2026

In a game that saw the Cavs pull away late in the 4th quarter, the Pistons persevered thanks to a late foul on a 3-pointer shot that eventually forced OT. Detroit’s Jalen Duren put on a gutsy performance with 33 PTS and 16 REB. At 22 years & 101 days old, he is the youngest player since Luka Dončić in 2019-20 to total 4 straight games with 25+ PTS and 10+ REB.

  1. Cavs missing four front line players and the Piston Pretenders still needed overtime to beat them. They are a quick exit from the playoffs

  2. I've never seen a star get called for fouls the way that Cade is this year. He'd only fouled out twice in his career, and tonight was the third time THIS SEASON. Get your refs under control, NBA.

  3. Best part of it all is that idiot Tyson was celebrating in the last minute of regulation and ends up fouling Jenkins

  4. Cavs lost because Tyson's dumb foul just before the end of regulation. I feel sad for the Cavs that fought gallantly to almost upset the Pistons shorthanded and I'm not even Cavs fan.

  5. I have seen the worst refs in the last year's, but this beat the record for the officialing game of the last year's, from the start to end. I love Detroit and this season is my favorite, but Cavaliers were robbed by any means. Really disgusting when you know before what referee is going to whistle. A real supporter doesn't want wins like this. Because the same opposite treatment Detroit will have when they will play with teams like OKC.

  6. On the last seconds of regular time Tyson fouls Jenkins before the act of shooting. The ref wanted that and give 3 ft. It's ok because they always made worse when Murray had the ball in last seconds and was losing…
    But after, in over time Schroeder goes to the basket and already stopped dribbling and the same ref says it's a foul not on the act of shooting. This has any credibility?!?

  7. THIS IS WHY THE CAVS WILL NEVER BE CHAMPION WITHOUT OEBRON , JUST RANDOMLY SIT JAMES HARDEN AND DONOVAN 😂😂😂😂😂😂 AFTER GETTING EXPOSED THEY SIT THEM GTFO

  8. Never thought I'd say this again, but shout out to Tobias Harris for the clutch post fade and excellent defense on Mobley on that last play.

  9. The Pistons missed a lot of 3 pointer and Free Throws. They seemed a little disorganized on their offense for some reason and not that engaged early on in the game by the turnovers etc. The Pistons are the better team and you could see moments of that and that is how they were able to stay in the game. The Pistons need to fix the 3 point and Free Throw issue to go deep in the playoffs. There defense kept them in the game. We will see if they made some adjustments by Sunday when they play the Magic. But they have been haunted by the Free Throw and 3 point issue for sometime. I have watched games they could have won had they made their Free Throws alone.

  10. Crazy because if ykyk that Bickerstaff was the coach that flipped the Cavs around after losing LeBron and right when they started playing good they fired him and Atkinson took credit for the team JB built. Then he went to Detroit and flipped them around in like 2 years from the worst team in the league to the best team in the league. He takes these games personal lol

  11. Schroeder had two chances of shooting the three but was too scared to be blamed, if he misses. The ref waited two seconds before calling a hug foul against Cleveland. The refs are on the Detroit side. This game is destined to be on the Detroit "W". FIXED!

  12. 2:39 That’s when Cleveland knew that they F Ed Up. They should have never allowed the Pistons to tie the game. Don’t try to play Bully Ball against a bunch of Bullies. They are too good at it.

  13. Everyone say what u want…that foul call on a half court game ending heave is absolutely ludicrous 😮😂😠😡
