In depth

Cade Cunningham scored 52 points, added 11 assists and had no turnovers as the Detroit Pistons beat the Washington Wizards 144-140 after two overtimes. The star became the first player to record at least 50 points and 10 assists without a turnover since the statistic began being tracked.

The game was forced into a second overtime, and the decision came thanks to Cunningham's performance. The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Toronto Raptors 123-112 that same night, and LeBron James did not play in the game due to an injury.

After the game, Cunningham said he was not thinking about numbers or individual achievements. Osasere Tompson said of the star that one player cannot guard him, and in the United States the performance was crowned as one of the best of the season.
