Cade Cunningham scores 52, Pistons beat Wizards 144-140 in double OT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cade Cunningham scored a career-high 52 points and had 11 assists, and the Detroit Pistons outlasted Washington 144-140 in double overtime Thursday night after the Wizards twice extended the game with last-second shots.

Trae Young’s 3-pointer at the buzzer forced the first overtime, and then rookie AJ Dybantsa’s midrange effort with less than a second left sent the teams to another OT. But Cunningham quickly made a 3-pointer, and then Anthony Davis fouled out to give Detroit the upper hand.

It was still a two-point game in the final minute, but Cunningham scored from the baseline to make it 142-138 with 25.3 seconds left. Washington has lost six straight.

Detroit’s Ausar Thompson had 17 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his first career triple-double.

Young had 37 points for the Wizards but shot just 8 of 23. Davis and Alex Sarr scored 30 each as the franchise had its first trio of 30-point scorers since Mike Davis, Earl Monroe and Gus Johnson for the Baltimore Bullets on Nov. 18, 1969.

Young had 14 assists, two more than Washington’s whole team managed in a loss at Indiana the previous night.

Cunningham’s previous career high was 46 points, just over a year ago — and also against Washington. He became the first NBA player with 50 points, 10 assists and no turnovers since the league began tracking turnovers in 1977-78, according to OptaSTATS.

Detroit beat the Wizards for the second time in four games. The Pistons overcame Davis’ 44 points to win Monday, and Washington looked ready to end its skid when it scored the first seven points of the first overtime Thursday to lead 128-121. Then Cunningham rallied Detroit.

76ERS 123, RAPTORS 112

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Tyrese Maxey scored 27 points, Joel Embiid had 20 and Philadelphia beat Toronto while playing without LeBron James.

James (back) was ruled out earlier Thursday, missing his third game of the season.

Jaylen Brown added 18 points for Philadelphia, which improved to 10-3. The 76ers rebounded from Tuesday’s 123-101 loss to Jayson Tatum and the Celtics in Brown’s first game against his former team.

RJ Barrett scored 31 points and Immanuel Quickley added 25 for the short-handed Raptors, who have lost four of five.

Embiid (foot) was upgraded from questionable to available before tipoff. The 76ers got a scare in the first quarter when Embiid crumpled to the court after colliding with Quickley, clutching his right knee. But Philadelphia’s 7-foot center returned later in the period to loud cheers from the home crowd.

The Raptors, playing without Kawhi Leonard (knee) for the 10th straight game and Scottie Barnes (groin) for the fourth consecutive contest, led by as many as 16 points in the opening half.

TIMBERWOLVES 133, MAVERICKS 94

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — LaMelo Ball made six 3-pointers and finished with 22 points and a season-high nine assists, and Minnesota beat Dallas for its most lopsided victory of the season.

Bones Hyland scored 24 points off the bench to lead the Timberwolves, who won their fifth straight game. Ayo Dosunmu added 18 points, Jaden McDaniels had 16 and Jonathan Kuminga had 14 points and eight rebounds.

Minnesota shot 61% in the first half to build a 15-point advantage, then blew it open by outscoring Dallas 36-17 in the third quarter to open a 103-69 lead.

Zaccharie Risacher scored 22 points off the bench for the Mavericks, who had their three-game winning streak snapped. Cooper Flagg, who had 43 against Indiana in his last game, was held to 12 points and Kyrie Irving had just 10.

The Wolves beat the Mavs for the seventh straight time and did it easily. Their previous largest margin of victory in a game this season was 25 points and their 44-point lead in the fourth quarter was their biggest at any point this season.

SUNS 101, HORNETS 96

PHOENIX (AP) — Devin Booker had 30 points, seven assists and three steals, and Phoenix beat Charlotte.

Miles Bridges got the win in his first meeting against his former team as the Suns won for the fourth time in five games after a 1-5 start. Dillon Brooks added 15 points and Collin Gillespie had 13 for the Suns.

Bridges finished with 11 points and six rebounds. The No. 12 pick in the 2018 draft spent his first seven seasons in Charlotte, where he is third in team history in points, before being dealt to Phoenix in a deal that sent Grayson Allen and Royce O’Neale to the Hornets.

Coby White scored 21 points and Naz Reid had 16 for shot 6 for 18 from the field for the Hornets. Allen had 14 points and Christian Anderson finished with 13.

Booker’s 3-pointer gave Phoenix a 97-91 lead with 28 seconds left but O’Neale converted a four-point play that cut it to two. Bridges made two free throws and Booker added two more after a steal as the Suns held on.

Booker scored 13 points as Phoenix took a 28-22 lead after one quarter, and the Suns extended it to 48-31 when Bridges capped a 15-4 run with a layup midway through the second. Charlotte closed well and cut it to 55-50 at halftime on Allen’s 3-pointer.
