DETROIT — Cade Cunningham recorded 13 points and 10 assists in his comeback from injury as the Detroit Pistons defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 137-111 in their final home game on Wednesday night.

Cunningham had been sidelined since suffering a collapsed lung during a victory against the Washington Wizards on March 17, but he appeared at ease while playing 26 minutes in brief intervals. He converted six of 11 field goal attempts, including one from beyond the arc, and grabbed five rebounds.

Jalen Duren contributed 21 points and nine rebounds as the Pistons secured their sixth win in eight games. Duncan Robinson added 20 points on a night when J.B. Bickerstaff limited all five starters to under 30 minutes of play.

Detroit (58-22) has the opportunity to reach 60 wins for the first time since the 2005-06 season by winning against the Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers in their last two matchups.

Jericho Sims achieved a triple-double with 11 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Ryan Rollins netted 23 points for Milwaukee, which has dropped 10 of its last 13 contests.

Cunningham played 13 minutes in the first half, contributing six points and five assists as the Pistons established a 75-57 advantage. Duren recorded 11 points, six rebounds, and a plus-20 rating in his 13 minutes.

The Pistons outscored Milwaukee 37-29 in the third quarter before both coaches cleared their benches in the fourth.

Detroit also welcomed back Isaiah Stewart from a calf injury sustained on March 13. He finished the game with eight points.
