Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 52 points (16-of-25 FGs, 17-of-18 FTs), five rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in a 144-140 double overtime win over the Wizards on Thursday.
Cunningham set a new career high for scoring in this game, with 30 of those 52 coming in the fourth quarter and overtime. However, the most impressive part of his performance was that he didn’t turn the ball over once, which led to him becoming the first player with at least 50 points and 10 assists in a game without turning it over. This was one of the best games anyone has had this season, and it came after he scored a total of 31 points over Detroit’s last two games. It was good to see him not only get back on track, but to truly dominate. He’ll look to carry some of this production with him to Miami on Saturday to wrap up the week.
