Cade Cunningham Joins Jordan With Rare 46-Point Triple-Double as Pistons Edge Wizards in OT

Detroit's seventh straight win followed a career night that left J.B. Bickerstaff intent on contacting the league.

Overview

  • Cunningham finished with 46 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks in a 137-135 overtime victory over Washington.
  • 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.
