Cade Cunningham delivered an electrifying performance, scoring a season-high 40 points to lead the Detroit Pistons to a 119-105 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. Despite Anthony Edwards' impressive career-high 53 points, the Pistons emerged victorious, marking their third consecutive win and sixth in their last seven games.
Alongside Cunningham, Malik Beasley contributed 23 points, while Tobias Harris added a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Ausar Thompson also made a significant impact, recording 10 points, 10 rebounds, and a career-best six steals. For the Timberwolves, Julius Randle was the only other player to reach double figures, scoring 17 points.
The Timberwolves, who were Western Conference finalists last season, have now lost three straight games, falling to a .500 record at 17-17. The Pistons, meanwhile, have found a spark in Thompson, who stepped up in the absence of injured guard Jaden Ivey, showcasing his defensive skills that energized the team's transition game.
