Cade Cunningham Back to His Old Ways in Second NBA Game
Former Oklahoma State star Cade Cunningham is starting to look like his old self with Detroit as he dropped 20 points in his second game with the Pistons. The performance, however, came in a 111-91 loss to No. 2 overall pick Jalen Green and the Houston Rockets.
Cunningham went 8-of-18 from the floor with four rebounds, two assists, three steals and a block. He also went 4-of-9 from 3-point range.
As for Green, he dropped 25 points on 6-of-11 shooting, 3-of-5 from 3-point range and 10-of-11 from the free throw line, and that was one of the major differences in their performances. Cunningham hasn’t been to the foul line in the first two games of his NBA career.
However, Cade is starting to look more and more comfortable out on the court.
But he’s not just heating up from beyond the arc, Cade is doing what he does best and is getting to the bucket with ease and hitting shots in some rather heavy traffic.
This was also a really cool moment for the Cowboy fans who were watching the game. Cade was mic’d in the first half and put his leadership skills on display.
Cunningham and the Pistons are back in action this coming Thursday against the Spurs in the battle of the winless as both teams are 0-2 to start the Summer League. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. on ESPNU.
