It's Game 2 for the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers. And following the New York Knicks' win over the Philadelphia 76ers, going up 2-0 in the series, the heat is on Detroit to try and pull away and maintain pace with their budding rival on the other side of the bracket.
The Cavs, who haven't won a road playoff game since Game 3 in Indiana last season, are 0-4 away from Cleveland and will look to correct that tonight in Detroit.

Duncan Robinson Three-Point Milestones
Duncan Robinson went the full ladder last time, so let's run it back.
Robinson has gone for three or more makes from deep in 6-of-8 playoff appearances this year and continues to be — by far — the shooter in Detroit.
Last time, he cashed 5-of-8 attempts from deep.
So far in the postseason, through 240 minutes played, he has a three-point attempt rate of 78%, and now he's up to 40% from deep after his showing in Game 1.
The Pistons generated only 26 three-point attempts in Game 1, highlighting the significance of Robinson's floor spacing, and he'll need to continue logging big minutes for as long as this run lasts.
In his eight games, he has never fallen below six attempts from deep and has fired up seven or more in 5-of-8.
