Summary
A power surge caused the overhead scoreboard to malfunction, leading to a 13-minute delay during the Detroit Pistons’ 122-119 overtime win over the Cleveland Cavaliers. The game resumed after the scoreboard was shut down and a manual airhorn was used to signal plays. The officials brought coaches to midcourt for a brief discussion before announcing the game would resume without the main scoreboard. The game lasted 3 hours and 22 minutes.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Pistons were up by one with 18 minutes left to play, and then the horn started blaring. You knew it was going to be a long one.
Cleveland led by nine with 2:44 left, but the Pistons forced overtime with a 16-7 run. It’s like they always say, “The game’s not over till the horn stops blaring.”
Cade Cunningham fouled out, but Jalen Duren stepped up with 33 points and 16 rebounds. This one was a real nail-biter.
The real question is, what’s the deal with these power surges? Can’t they get it together?
This one felt recognizable early.
