Locked On NBA – Daily Podcast On The National Basketball Association

🚨 The Detroit Pistons are still alive — and now the Cleveland Cavaliers have a real problem.

 

 

 

On today’s episode of Locked On NBA  Haize & Swipa break down the Pistons’ dominant 115-94 Game 6 win over the Cavs, as Cade Cunningham leads Detroit into a massive Game 7 back at home. The Pistons controlled the second half, overwhelmed Cleveland with physical defense, crashed the offensive glass, and got a huge lift from their bench as Detroit forced yet another elimination-game win this postseason.

 

 

 

Cade Cunningham finished with 21 points and five made threes, Jalen Duren added a double-double, and Detroit’s reserves outscored Cleveland’s bench 48-19. Meanwhile, the Cavs struggled with turnovers, inconsistent offense, and a lack of response after getting hit early. Donovan Mitchell admitted Cleveland “got hit in the mouth,” while James Harden said the Cavs never found another level.

 

 

 

Haize dives into whether the Pistons are becoming the most dangerous team left in the East, what this Game 6 says about Cade Cunningham’s superstar leap, and whether Cleveland is in serious danger of letting this series slip away.

 

 

 

🔥 Topics include:

 

 

 

Pistons force Game 7 vs Cavaliers

 

Cade Cunningham’s playoff growth

 

Detroit’s defense and physicality

 

Cavs’ turnover issues and offensive struggles

 

Jalen Duren, Duncan Robinson, Paul Reed, and the Pistons bench

 

Donovan Mitchell and James Harden’s response

 

Can Detroit complete another comeback?

The NBA Draft Combine is wrapped, and the top of the 2026 NBA Draft is getting fascinating. Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize break down the race between AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer and Caleb Wilson, who helped themselves the most at the combine, whether there is a clear No. 1 pick, and if any team could try to trade up into the top four.

Then, the crew looks at the Los Angeles Clippers after moving up to the No. 5 pick. Should the Clippers use that pick to build quickly around Kawhi Leonard, or is this the moment to consider trading Kawhi and turning the page? Plus, what are the best Kawhi landing spots?

They also react to the latest Jaylen Brown trade chatter involving the Atlanta Hawks, Myles Turner’s candid comments about the Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo, and preview tonight’s playoff elimination games with Cavs-Pistons and Spurs-Timberwolves.
