Cunningham scores career-high 52 to lead Pistons double-overtime win vs. Wizards

WASHINGTON — In two seconds, the Detroit Pistons' celebration turned to despair. With only two seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, the Pistons led 121-118, but the Washington Wizards had the ball. A defensive breakdown allowed Trae Young to hit his fourth 3-pointer, sending the game into overtime as time expired in regulation. Although it took two additional periods, the Pistons prevailed in a thrilling 144-140 double-overtime victory Thursday night at Capital One Arena. Cade Cunningham had an outstanding performance, scoring a career-high 52 points on 16-for-25 shooting and adding 11 assists. kAmpFD2C %9@>AD@?
