Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals between the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat featured a third team.
Along the baseline at TD Garden in downtown Boston, members of the Detroit Pistons were ushered to their seats, attempting to blend in with the city’s wealthy as best as NBA athletes can. There was Isaiah Stewart and Killian Hayes, both of whom were in town due to obligations with PUMA. There was head coach Dwane Casey, who caught wind of several of his players being in Boston and decided to tag along. There was Isaiah Livers, who was invited by teammate Cade Cunningham, whose aspirations to dance with the NBA’s elite, in the very atmosphere that he was taking in, made him a spectator.
Before Cunningham heard his name called by NBA commissioner Adam Silver back in July 2021, when Detroit was on the clock with the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, he envisioned the moment vividly. The grip on the handshake. The firmness. The outfit. The emotions. Before Cunningham traded baskets with the idols he grew up watching — the Kevin Durants and Giannis Antetokounmpo of the world — he created those scenarios in his mind. Every move.
