DETROIT — Cade Cunningham broke out of a slump by scoring nine of his 15 points in the fourth quarter and the Detroit Pistons pulled away to beat the Brooklyn Nets 115-94 on Saturday night.

Cunningham scored a season-worst 11 points Friday in a 134-119 loss to Denver and only had six points through three quarters against the Nets, but had a 3-pointer and two three-point plays.

Tobias Harris, Malik Beasley and Jalen Duren all scored 18 points for the Pistons, who had their eight-game winning streak snapped by the Nuggets.

Tyrese Martin came off the bench to score 23 points for the Nets, who have lost four straight. Brooklyn’s starters were outscored 73-47.

The Nets were within six at the start of the fourth, but Cunningham scored six points in a 16-6 run that made it 95-81 with 7:33 left.
