Cade Cunningham stats tonight: Pistons star sets franchise scoring record
With his team's season on the brink, Cade Cunningham set a Pistons playoff scoring record.
Facing elimination, Cade Cunningham willed the Detroit Pistons to a massive victory in Game 5. Detroit withstood a late Orlando Magic surge Wednesday, April 29, winning 116-109 , to force a Game 6, though Detroit still trails in the series 3-2. It had been a frustrating round for Cunningham, who committed 24 turnovers over the previous three games prior to Wednesday night.
Cunningham’s scoring had been there, but his supporting cast on the Pistons had been struggling to provide enough contributions. At the risk of being closed out, Cunningham took matters into his own hands, setting a new Pistons franchise record for most points in a single playoff game. Here’s Cade Cunningham’s full box score from Game 5 of the first round against the Orlando Magic.
