The Detroit Pistons proved in their last game they could win without their best player. That gave them a chance to have a winning homestand, which wraps up against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday afternoon.Detroit has a 3-2 record during the homestand, including a 125-112 thumping of the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. The Pistons led by as many as 34 points, even though All-Star point guard Cade Cunningham was sidelined by an ankle sprain.The Pistons scored a season-high 78 points in the first half.”We talked about it being a collective effort that was going to get it done (Friday),” coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. “We had 21 assists on our first 26 field goals for the night. It doesn’t get any better than that. I thought we did a great job in that first half as a group defensively, which triggered our offense and let us get out and run. So again, hats off to the guys. I thought they were phenomenal.”Malik Beasley, normally the team’s sixth man, started in Cunningham’s place and scored a career-high 36 points. After the Sixers pulled within 11 points with less than five minutes remaining, Beasley hit two 3-pointers to close out the victory and reach the milestone.”(His) energy is one of one,” reserve center Isaiah Stewart said. “I’ve never met someone with his kind of energy and the way he goes on about basketball and the way he views the game. He loves moments like this when it’s time for him to step up and the spotlight is on him. We had a great feeling he was going to have a great game (Friday) and he knocked down a lot of big-time shots.”The Pistons may need a similar performance from Beasley on Sunday if Cunningham can’t return to the lineup.Charlotte has taken two of the first three matchups with none of those games decided by more than four points.
