Cunningham is coming off a massive performance despite the team’s recent loss. He recorded 39 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists in the game against Orlando. He acknowledged the team’s need to execute better down the stretch.
“Coach said it a thousand times, get the ball moving,” Cunningham said. “I think there’s a lot of different reasons why maybe that happened, but we just didn’t execute the game plan.”
The Pistons are playing the second night of a back-to-back set after falling to the Orlando Magic at home on Friday.
