📰Game Recap

Cade Cunningham delivered a stellar 52-point, 11-assist performance, shooting 16 of 25 from the field and draining three triples to lift the Detroit Pistons over the Washington Wizards 144-140 in a double-overtime thriller. Detroit established a narrow early edge, taking the opening period 33-32 and extending the margin to 64-61 by halftime after a 31-29 second quarter. The Pistons maintained their slim advantage through the third period, outscoring Washington 30-29 to build a 94-90 lead entering the final frame.

Washington rallied in the fourth quarter, putting up 31 points to Detroit's 27 to force the first extra session as regulation ended deadlocked at 121. Trae Young orchestrated the Wizards' offense with 37 points and 14 assists, while Anthony Davis anchored the interior with 30 points and 15 rebounds, and Alexandre Sarr added 30 points on an efficient 12-of-14 shooting night with four three-pointers. Both teams traded blows in the first overtime, matching 11 points apiece to extend the battle into a second extra period.

In the decisive second overtime, Detroit outscored Washington 12-8 to finally secure the victory. Daniss Jenkins provided crucial secondary scoring for the Pistons with 21 points, hauling in six rebounds and hitting three shots from beyond the arc. The SportsFBI pregame model correctly leaned toward a Detroit victory, and Cunningham's all-around brilliance ultimately converted that probabilistic edge into reality through 58 hard-fought minutes.
