The Detroit Pistons have their NBA All-Star as franchise player Cade Cunningham has been named an Eastern Conference reserve.

Leading up to the announcement of the All-Star reserves on Thursday night, Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham was viewed as someone in the mix. The league's coaches must have felt the same way, as the former No.

But there was a stretch of 2 minutes 42 seconds of the 3rd quarter, where Cunningham flashed exactly why he’s an All-Star and it happened at a crucial time of the game. The Mavericks were in a groove nearing the end of the 3rd quarter and were trying to cut the lead down heading into the 4th.
