Cade Cunningham delivered a historic performance, scoring a career-high 52 points and dishing out 11 assists without committing a turnover as the Detroit Pistons defeated the Washington Wizards, 144-140, in a double-overtime thriller in the 2026-27 NBA season.
Cunningham became the first player in NBA history to record at least 50 points and 10 assists without a turnover since turnovers began being tracked in the 1977-78 season.
He added five rebounds to his remarkable stat line, leading Detroit through a hard-fought contest that required two extra periods to decide.
Ausar Thompson also made history, recording his first career triple-double with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists. He also contributed three steals and three blocks to help the Pistons secure the road victory.
Daniss Jenkins provided additional support with 21 points, six rebounds, two steals and three 3-pointers.
Trae Young led Washington with 37 points and 14 assists, including four 3-pointers, but his efforts were not enough to prevent the Wizards from falling in the double-overtime battle.
Cunningham's historic scoring and playmaking display highlighted Detroit's victory, while Thompson's first career triple-double added another milestone to the Pistons' impressive night.
