Bam Adebayo is one of the NBA's best defenders and he was in Cade Cunningham's face. "Any closer and I'd have fouled him," Adebayo said postgame (via the Associated Press).

It didn't matter. With the game on the line, Cade Cunningham continued the Piston's magical season with a banked-in 3-pointer game-winner with 0.6 seconds left, giving Detroit the win and extending Miami's losing streak to nine.

Did Cunningham call bank?

"I might have whispered it. I don't think anybody heard that, though," he said postgame.

Cunningham finished with a triple-double of 25 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, leading the Pistons to a win that ties them with the Bucks for the No. 5 seed in the East, one game back of the Pacers at No. 4. Detroit, a team that had the worst record in the NBA two-seasons running and lost 28 straight games a season ago, could host a first-round playoff game.

With shots like this, Detroit is going to be a tough out in the playoffs, whoever it faces.
