The Detroit Pistons have flaws, but Cade Cunningham is the great equalizer as a dominant fourth quarter player.
Maxwell Ogden highlights Cade Cunningham's fourth-quarter scoring prowess as the driving force behind the Detroit Pistons' clutch success. Cunningham scored 10 fourth-quarter points to lead Detroit to a 97-89 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Oct. 28, lifting the team to a 4-1 record. He finished the game with 30 points, seven assists, and five rebounds despite a slow start through three quarters.
Ogden argues that Cunningham's late-game dominance complements Detroit's elite defense and strengthens their championship ambitions. The writer notes Cunningham ranked among the NBA's top 10 fourth-quarter scorers in 2025-26, though Detroit still needs more overall shot-creation support.
