> Cade Cunningham scored a career-high 52 points with 11 assists and zero turnovers as Detroit beat Washington 144-140 in double overtime last night. He is the first player ever with 50 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers in a game. The Pistons are 8-3 and third in the East. I know it is November and one game does not make a season, but a line like that with zero turnovers is hard to ignore. For people who watch Detroit regularly: is Cunningham a genuine MVP candidate this year, or is this just a career night against a bad Wizards team?

> The zero turnovers is the real story

> 52 points gets the headlines, but 11 assists with zero turnovers in a double-overtime game is the number that matters. That is the first 50-10-0 game since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78. Scoring 52 against Washington is one thing; doing it without giving the ball away once while running the offense for 48 minutes is an MVP-level skill. Watch the Miami game on Saturday before anointing him, but this is not a fluke line.
