- He became only the second player to log at least 40 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and five steals in a game, joining Michael Jordan.
- The guard shot 14-for-45 from the field with 31 missed attempts, which ESPN’s Stats & Information notes is the most by any player since the 1976-77 merger.
- Cunningham briefly exited after a hard foul by Cam Whitmore that sent him to the floor grabbing his back, then returned and helped close out the win.
- Bickerstaff received a technical foul during the aftermath of the play and said he would raise his officiating concerns with the NBA as Detroit’s streak moved to seven.
