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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"grv-tpwp-permalink-overlay\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hitc.com\/talkingpoints\/talk-nba\/98ada726-how-would-you-rate-knicks-season-so-far\/\" aria-label=\"How would you rate Knicks season so far? \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">       <\/p>\n<p> How would you rate Knicks season so far?  <\/p>\n<p>    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/image-3889x2593.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>   Cade Cunningham became the first player ever to have 50 points and 10 assists with zero turnovers in a game<\/p>\n<p>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. <\/p>\n<p>However, in his monster game against Washington, it didn\u2019t happen even once. That means Cunningham just did something no one has before. <\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">HISTORY FOR CADE \ud83d\ude31<\/p>\n<p>Cade Cunningham is the first player in NBA HISTORY with 50 points, 10 assists and 0 turnovers in a game since individual turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9YY2vrlcMf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/9YY2vrlcMf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/espn\/status\/2121080451695591456?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">November 13, 2026<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>View X<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHISTORY FOR CADE!
