Cade Cunningham needed two overtimes and fifty-two points to get the Detroit Pistons past the Washington Wizards, one hundred forty-four to one hundred forty. It is a career high, topping his old best of forty-six, which also came against Washington. He made seventeen of eighteen free throws and never turned the ball over, which makes him the first player since the league began tracking turnovers in 1977 to put up fifty points and ten assists without one.
Washington had its chances. Trae Young hit a three at the buzzer to force the first overtime, the Wizards opened it by scoring the first seven points, and A J Dybantsa's midrange shot with under a second left forced a second. Ausar Thompson added the first triple double of his career for Detroit. Young, Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr all scored thirty or more, and the Wizards still dropped their sixth straight.
The Golden State Warriors announced that Stephen Curry has an oblique abdominal tear. He left Wednesday's game at Houston early in the first quarter, an MRI confirmed the diagnosis, and he will be reevaluated in two weeks.
The Minnesota Timberwolves flattened the Dallas Mavericks at home, one hundred thirty-three to ninety-four, their most lopsided win of the season and their fifth in a row. They opened the third quarter on a seventeen to four run and led by as many as forty-four. Bones Hyland scored twenty-four off the bench on seven of ten shooting, and LaMelo Ball added twenty-two with six threes. Dallas had won three straight before this.
The Philadelphia Seventy Sixers came back from seventeen down to beat the Toronto Raptors one hundred twenty-three to one hundred twelve at home, and they did it without LeBron James, who did not play. It was tied at the half, and Philadelphia pulled away in the third. Tyrese Maxey scored twenty-seven, Joel Embiid had twenty, and Anfernee Simons hit five of six threes off the bench. RJ Barrett piled up thirty-one points and fourteen rebounds for Toronto, which has lost three in a row. The Sixers are ten wins and three losses.
Devin Booker scored thirty as the Phoenix Suns held off the Charlotte Hornets, one hundred one to ninety-six, after blowing a seventeen point lead. Phoenix has now won four of its last five after a start of one win and five losses.
