Follow us on Google Discover Cade Cunningham had a monster performance in the Detroit Pistons win, and he made NBA history in the process.
It has been a shaky start to the season for Cade Cunningham with the Detroit Pistons. The superstar point guard has put up a couple of fairly poor performances in some big games, including against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, he made sure no one will talk about them anymore with his Thursday night display.
Cunningham went off in a double overtime, 144-140 win against the Washington Wizards. The 25-year-old had a whopping 52 points and 11 assists in the game. It would have been an impressive showing considering that it was a 52-point double-double, but one particular stat made it historic.
How would you rate Knicks season so far?
Cade Cunningham became the first player ever to have 50 points and 10 assists with zero turnovers in a game
Cade can be inefficient at times, his shooting comes and goes. However, the one thing he has always excelled at is his playmaking. Like any primary offensive creator, the Pistons man is prone to turning the ball over; that is just an occupational hazard.
However, in his monster game against Washington, it didn’t happen even once. That means Cunningham just did something no one has before.

Cunningham can be inconsistent and that will lead to some criticism from time to time. However, he is one of the most talented stars in the league. On evenings like this, he has simply reminded his doubters that he is capable of a lot more than he is given credit for.
