Cade Cunningham’s drive leads to a key shot in the Celtics’ victory
Cade Cunningham once again came to the rescue as Detroit Pistons recorded their fourth straight win as they beat the Boston Celtics 112-105 at TD Garden on Monday.
Cunningham finished with a team score 32 points on 11-of-21 shooting, including 6-of-10 from three-point range. He also had four rebounds, 10 assists and one steal.
His biggest came with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter. With the Pistons leading by just three points, 108-105, Cunningham was isolated against Derrick White, one of the league’s toughest defenders. But it didn’t matter. Cunningham went deep into his bag and shook off White for a spinning jumper.
The Celtics never recovered from that, as the Pistons secured their ninth road win.
Fans were also impressed by Cunningham’s stylish move.
“Derrick White got completely cooked there,” he said @Zie_air.
“Cade Cunningham is the GOAT,” he added @crypticworld7.
“Cade just iced the game, Detroit was bending hard,” published @nashorneth.
“Key Player of the Year” declared @GaigePerry5.
“Cade is really saving the entire franchise here, LOL,” commented @jupturkei.
Cunningham got his revenge on the Celtics after missing a crucial free throw in their meeting last month.
The 24-year-old guard continues to solidify himself as one of the top MVP candidates this season. His maturity over the years was nothing short of commendable: from a fickle guard to a steady leader.
The former No. 1 overall pick got plenty of support against Boston, with Tobias Harris and Caris LeVert combining for 26 points, eight rebounds and five assists and Jaden Ivey adding 10 points, three assists and two steals.
The Pistons return to action on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks.
