Pistons president of basketball operations Trajan Langdon revealed the next step for Cade Cunningham if he is to lead team deeper into NBA playoffs.

Cunningham had 24 points on 10-of-25 shooting and 11 assists in Thursday’s 118-116 Game 3 loss. He flourished in Game 2 (33 points, 12 rebounds) and the Pistons prevailed.
