Pistons Outlast Cavs 122-119 in OT After Horn Delay

February 28, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Jalen Duren recorded a 33-point, 16-rebound double-double to lead the Detroit Pistons past the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers 122-119 in overtime, despite an 18-minute delay caused by a malfunctioning scoreboard horn.

Cade Cunningham added 25 points and 10 rebounds before fouling out, helping the Pistons rally from a nine-point deficit in the final two minutes of regulation to force overtime. Jaylon Tyson's intentional foul attempt with four seconds left allowed Daniss Jenkins to make three free throws and send the game to the extra period.

The game was halted for 18 minutes in the third quarter when a power surge caused the scoreboard horn to blare after signaling teams back to the floor. Evan Mobley led the Cavs with 23 points and 12 rebounds, but Cleveland lost for the second straight game without James Harden and Donovan Mitchell.
