Today on the big three in 30, the Cavs get a statement win over the Pistons.

They didn't have their full roster and they still found a way to get a win.

The Knicks shut down the Raptors in Toronto.

Knicks closed this game out on a 16 to 2 run.

We'll tell you exactly how that happened.

And the Spurs beat the Sixers by 40.

131 to 91 over the 76ers in a game that felt like it was not even as close as that.

off a late comeback and beat the Pistons last night for a big win over the best team in the east. After

that win, Locked-ons host, Danny Cunningham,

has the recap. The Caves beat the Detroit Pistons 113 to 109 on Tuesday evening inside Rocket

Arena. And this is a game that I look at and just say, the Cavs didn't have their best stuff,

right? Like, we've seen the Cavs recently play much better. Like I think the game they played against the New York Knicks a week ago was a more soundly played basketball game than what they played. This was far from perfect for the calves. Now, they played well. Don't get me wrong. But I think that if you watch this game on Tuesday night, you can tell, okay, they've got several more levels that they can get to. They did not have Donovan Mitchell in this game as he continues to work back from a sore groin. Dean Wade was questionable prior to this game and did not play because of an ankle sprain. They're still missing Max Drew, so we'll talk about him a little bit later on. And Jared Allen left this game midway through with a knee injury. Now, we don't know the severity severity as of right now, but like the calves didn't have their best stuff.

They didn't have their full roster. And they still found a way to get a win against the team that's been the best team in the East all season long. And a team, truthfully, they should have beaten on Friday in Detroit with an even lesser roster than what they had on Tuesday night at home.

And a big part of the reason why the Cavs got this win is because of the play of Jalen Tyson.

And I thought you could make the case that he was the best player on the floor in this game.

So Tyson finishes with 22 points.
