  "account": "In Detroit's 106-93 victory over LeBron James and the Philadelphia 76ers, rookie Cade Cunningham contributed 26 points, while John Collins added 16 points and 11 rebounds to help the Pistons maintain an unbeaten record. Detroit improved to 3-0 in their first game without All-Star center Jalen Duren, who will be sidelined for at least two weeks due to a strained right hamstring suffered during Friday's loss to Miami.\n\nThe Pistons led throughout the game against the Sixers, who were playing the second night of a back-to-back with key players Joel Embiid and VJ Edgecombe missing. Embiid rested a night after posting a triple-double against Milwaukee, while Edgecombe was absent due to an abdominal contusion.\n\nTyrese Maxey led the Sixers with 29 points, and LeBron James contributed 18. The Sixers fell to their first defeat after three straight wins, including a 29-point comeback against Cleveland that gave the team confidence in their ability to rally again. However, they were unable to mount a comeback against Detroit.\n\nJames, 41, returned from resting his back and powered his way to three straight layups during a 9-0 run that brought the Sixers within five points at halftime. After closing the gap to five points, Cunningham hit two consecutive three-pointers, extending Detroit's lead to nine points heading into the third quarter. The Pistons maintained a ten-point advantage at the end of the quarter.\n\nDuncan Robinson added 16 points, including three crucial baskets in the fourth quarter that halted a Sixers surge and solidified Detroit's 10-point lead. Robinson's five three-pointers contributed to Detroit's 14 three-pointers made throughout the game.\n\nWith that, the Pistons opened the game with a 15-1 run, extending it to a 56-35 lead in the second quarter. In the fourth quarter, Duncan Robinson hit a crucial three-pointer that stunted another Sixers comeback attempt, bringing the Pistons closer to their second consecutive win. The next games for Detroit and Philadelphia are scheduled to take place on Tuesday in New York and Wednesday in Indiana, respectively.",
