Top-Ranked OKC Thunder Suffers Unexpected Loss to NBA's Worst Team, Detroit Pistons

Despite Absence of Star Player Cade Cunningham, Pistons' Jalen Duren Steps Up to Secure Win

OKC Thunder, the top team in the Western Conference, lost to the Detroit Pistons, the NBA's worst team, in a surprising upset.
Detroit Pistons' Jalen Duren led the team with a double-double of 22 points and 21 rebounds, contributing to the win despite the absence of their best player, Cade Cunningham.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of OKC Thunder had a 30-point performance, but it wasn't enough to secure a win.
Cade Cunningham, the Pistons' guard, sat out due to knee injury management.
The loss to the Pistons is not expected to significantly impact OKC Thunder's standing, as they still hold the best record in the Western Conference.
