Pistons Win 7th Straight on Cunninghams 46-Point Triple-Double

The Detroit Pistons extended their winning streak to seven games with a 137-135 overtime victory over the Washington Wizards on Monday night at Little Caesars Arena, propelled by a career-high 46-point triple-double from guard Cade Cunningham despite a grueling injury scare late in the contest.

Cunningham, the former No. 1 overall pick, finished with 12 rebounds, 11 assists, five steals and two blocks in 46 minutes of action, marking the first triple-double of his 2025-26 season. His stat line placed him in rare company, making him only the second player in NBA history after Michael Jordan to record at least 40 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals in a single game since the league began tracking steals and blocks in 1973-74. The performance also included a franchise record for field-goal attempts, as Cunningham launched 45 shots, converting 14 for a 31.1 percent clip. In doing so, he surpassed Kobe Bryant's mark of 30 missed field goals in a 40-point game, set during a 2002 overtime loss to the Boston Celtics. Cunningham went 16-for-18 from the free-throw line to help fuel the comeback from an eight-point deficit in the fourth quarter.
