Rotowire
Cunningham finished with 21 points (7-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one block in Friday's 115-94 win over Cleveland in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Cunningham was coming off a 39-point performance heading into this contest. While the 24-year-old wasn't as productive on the scoring end, he still did enough to lead the Pistons to a much-needed victory. Cunningham has shot the ball well from deep of late, going 11-for-20 from three-point range in the last two games. However, turnovers continue to be an issue, with Cunningham totaling 35 so far in the series. Both clubs will meet in Game 7 on Sunday for the right to play the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Cunningham contributed 39 points (13-27 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and two steals over 48 minutes during Wednesday's Game 5 overtime loss to Cleveland in the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Cunningham is now tied with Isiah Thomas for the most 30-point games in a single playoff run in Pistons franchise history, and he hit numerous clutch shots down the stretch to keep Detroit in the game.

The star point guard committed a game-worst five turnovers and grabbed just three rebounds for the third time this series. Although he led the Pistons in assists on the night, his six dimes marked a series low. Cunningham and the Pistons will look to retake the series lead in Wednesday's Game 5 in Detroit.

He also had trouble shooting the ball, making just 37.0 percent of his shots from the field and 33.3 percent from behind the three-point line. With the victory by the Cavaliers, Cunningham and company will look to get back in the win column in Game 4 on Monday night.

Cunningham was quiet by his standards through the first three quarters of play, but he stepped up down the stretch. The star guard erupted for 12 points in the final six minutes, which included a pair of key treys to help Detroit get out to a 2-0 lead in the series. Cunningham has put up 20-plus points in each of the first two games of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, and he's also recorded a pair of steals in each appearance.

Cunningham struggled with efficiency from the field but made the most of his trips to the charity stripe, finishing with a team-high 23 points in Detroit's critical Game 1 victory. The star guard has now scored at least 20 points in all eight of the Pistons' playoff games in 2026 after turning in a strong first-round series against the Magic, during which he averaged 32.4 points, 7.1 assists and 5.7 rebounds while shooting 46.2 percent from the field and 39.6 percent from beyond the arc across seven contests. Cunningham continuing to produce, particularly with greater efficiency than Tuesday, will be key as Detroit looks to take a commanding 2-0 series lead Thursday.
