  "account": "The Detroit Pistons bounced back with a win on their home court, a day after their first loss of the season. They defeated the Charlotte Hornets 97-89 on Wednesday, Oct. 28, at Little Caesars Arena, improving their record to 4-1. Cade Cunningham was the team's standout performer with a season-high 30 points and seven assists. Strong contributions came from Paul Reed (16 points), Daniss Jenkins (14 points and three assists), Duncan Robinson (13 points), and Ausar Thompson (7 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and a block). The Hornets (3-2) were led by Brandon Miller with 31 points and 12 rebounds. The Pistons missed their starting backcourt of Coby White and Kon Knueppel, who are out with injuries. Jalen Duren, who left the team's previous road win against the Miami Heat with a right hamstring strain, missed his third consecutive game and is out for at least another 10 days. Isaiah Joe (right hip contusion) also missed his second straight game. The Pistons struggled to shoot from beyond the arc in the first half, going 0-for-5, but turned it around in the second half, shooting 51.2% overall and 42.9% from three. Cunningham made two clutch three-pointers with 30.5 seconds left to secure the victory.",
