LeBron James and Victor Wembanyama Ignite Unforgettable First Round Showdowns—Which Star Will Rewrite Playoff History?
Cunningham scored the most points in Pistons playoff history, while Banchero was one bucket shy of passing Dwight Howard and Tracy McGrady for first in Magic playoff history (46 vs. 45). And we were witnessing two players going for it at the same time, making play after play to give their team a shot, and making whatever the defense wanted to execute not matter.
These were not easy buckets. Stepbacks, post-ups, fadeaways, pull-ups, you name it. The willingness to take and make tough shots in high-leverage moments. Driving into the paint as multiple bodies collapsed to contest. Making enough plays to where the defense no longer felt comfortable with the shots they were willing to live with.
