Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 38 points (9-of-25 FGs, 20-of-21 FTs), three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and two blocks in a 129-125 loss to the Wizards on Thursday.
What a monster night it was for Cunningham. This was his sixth-straight game with at least 25 points, and he added another double-double, along with plenty of defensive production. Cunningham isn’t known for having a generous whistle, but he lived at the foul line on Thursday. He shattered his previous career-highs of 13 free throws made and 13 free throws attempted in a game. It isn’t something managers should get used to since he only averages 5.4 attempts per game. However, it was nice to see him have success there in this game.
