Detroit Pistons Edge Washington Wizards in Overtime Thriller

In a high-scoring overtime matchup at Little Caesars Arena, the Detroit Pistons edged out the Washington Wizards 137-135 on November 10, 2025. Cade Cunningham delivered a standout performance for Detroit, recording 46 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists—marking his 12th career triple-double and the highest single-game shot attempt total in the NBA this season with 45. Daniss Jenkins added a season-high 24 points, including the clutch three-pointer off Cunningham’s inbound pass that forced overtime. Jalen Duren contributed 19 points and 14 rebounds as the Pistons improved to 9-2 and extended their win streak to seven games, maintaining their lead in the Eastern Conference. For the Wizards, CJ McCollum scored a season-best 42 points, but missed key shots in the final seconds, resulting in Washington’s ninth consecutive loss and dropping their record to 1-10. The Wizards led by nine with just over four minutes left in regulation, but couldn’t hold off the Pistons’ late surge. Rookie Tre Johnson continued to impress with a 12.1 points per game average this season, while Alex Sarr, Washington’s top scorer at 19 points per game, posted another double-double with 15 points and 15 rebounds. Second-year guard Kyshawn George has also made significant strides, nearly doubling his scoring average to 16 points per game. Duncan Robinson’s three-pointer with 1:04 remaining in overtime put Detroit ahead for good. Cunningham’s aggressive play saw him go 16-for-18 from the free throw line, despite struggling from beyond the arc (2-for-11). The game further highlights Cunningham’s status as one of the league’s top young stars and solidifies his campaign for All-NBA honors.
