Oklahoma City Thunder at Detroit Pistons
· National Basketball Association
Duren, Cunningham lead Pistons past short-handed Thunder, 124-116
The Thunder started the game without five of their six leading scorers — Shai Alexander-Gilgeous (abdomen), Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), Chet Holmgren (back), Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) and Jalen Williams (hamstring). The only one of the top six to start was Isaiah Joe, and he left at halftime because of a bruised hip.
Duncan Robinson added 16 points for East-leading Detroit. The Pistons have won six of seven to improve to 43-14.
Jaylin Williams had a career-best 30 points for the defending champion Thunder, and Cason Wallace added 23. The Thunder dropped to 45-15. They had won five of six.
After Oklahoma City cut it to 108-105 with 5:06 to play, Javonte Green answered with a 3-pointer on a possession where Detroit had four offensive rebounds.
Pistons: Host Cleveland on Friday night.
