Cunningham had a historical performance against the Wizards, shooting 16-of-25 from the field and 3-of-5 from beyond the arc and 17-of-18 at the free-throw line. He also added 11 assists without recording a turnover as well as adding 5 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal in the process.

It was an unprecedented level of productivity from Cunningham, becoming the first recorded player in league history with at least 50 points and 10 assists without a turnover.

Cunningham said it was "just that type of night" for him during his postgame media availability.

But he also described it as the "best I've ever done it" when asked about maximizing his effort and minimizing his mistakes.

After finishing as the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference last season, the Pistons remain one of the best teams in the East in 2026-27. If they are going to keep having success, moments like these from Cunningham will play such a crucial role in reaching their long-term goals.

Indeed, this was the best performance we've ever seen from Cunningham, and it showed why he has established himself as one of the top overall players in the league.
