The Detroit Pistons and Cleveland Cavaliers play Game 2 of their second-round series in the NBA playoffs on Thursday, May 7, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.
Prime Video is where to stream Pistons vs. Cavs Game 2, with no TV channel for the contest.
The Pistons enter with a 1-0 lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals series after taking Game 1, 111-101, with a late surge sparked by the connection between All-Stars Cade Cunningham and Jalen Duren.

The Pistons are looking to take a 2-0 lead in a playoff series for the first time since the 2008 Eastern Conference semifinals, where Detroit beat the Orlando Magic in five games. The Pistons will need another strong defensive performance and bench contributions to take a two-game lead.
