NBA Roundup: Pistons Edge Wizards in 2OT, Sixers Rally Past Raptors, Wolves Crush Mavs

Cunningham drops 46 as Pistons Survive double-OT thriller

Pistons beat Wizards in double overtime, 76ers move to 10-3, Timberwolves roll to 9-3, Suns hold on against Hornets - full NBA roundup.

Cunningham's heroics, Maxey's 27-point night, and Booker's 30-point masterclass headline Thursday's NBA action...

Cade Cunningham poured in 52 points as the Detroit Pistons survived a double-overtime thriller, edging Washington 144-140 on Thursday.

Cunningham became the first player in NBA history to record 50 points and 10 assists without committing a turnover, while Ausar Thompson posted a triple-double with 17 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.

The Wizards had three starters scoring 30 or more points Trae Young, Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr but it was still not enough to stop Washington sliding to a sixth straight defeat.

“Two overtimes, it was just going to come down who wanted it more, who had more in the tank,” said Cunningham.

“I'd bet on my team any day. So great win for us.”

Maxey Inspires 76ers' Comeback Win Over Raptors

Tyrese Maxey led Philadelphia to another comeback victory, scoring 27 points as the Sixers shook off a slow start and the absence of LeBron James to beat the Toronto Raptors 123-112.

Maxey also dished out eight assists, combining smoothly with Joel Embiid, who briefly left the floor early with a knee injury before returning to contribute 20 points.

The Sixers had fallen 17 points behind in the first quarter, right after Embiid went off, but they fought back for their fifth double-digit comeback of the season.

“We'll take it. I mean, extreme professional win by us. We stayed with it. Didn't start out great, but it was a good win,” said Maxey.

“We played together the last seven years, so I kind of know where he's going to be, he knows where I'm going to be at, and it's good for us,” he said, of his partnership with 2023 MVP Embiid.

Veteran James, who turns 42 next month, was ruled out of Thursday's game to manage a lower back problem.

That left extra work for the Sixers' bench, who delivered 39 points led by Anfernee Simons' 17.

Philadelphia improves to 10-3, just half a game behind the 10-2 Boston Celtics at the top of the Eastern Conference.

Timberwolves Crush Mavericks to Move to 9-3

In Minnesota, a dominant Timberwolves side cruised to 9-3 on the season despite missing Anthony Edwards, thrashing the Dallas Mavericks 133-94 to improve to 5-1 at home so far in 2026/27. The game was a perfect showcase of Minnesota's depth, with Bones Hyland leading the scoring off the bench with 24 points, while starting point guard LaMelo Ball added 22, with four other players also reaching double figures.

For Dallas, it was an uncharacteristic night for Cooper Flagg, who finished with just 12 points on 5-of-12 shooting, and with only Zaccharie Risacher going past 20 points, it was a poor offensive showing for the Mavericks as they slipped to 7-5 on the season.

The nightcap belonged to Phoenix. The Suns survived a nail-biter against Charlotte, 101-96, behind a vintage Devin Booker masterclass.

Booker was unstoppable, pouring in 30 on 12-of-20 from the floor and 4-of-8 from deep. Dillon Brooks chipped in 15, and three more Suns hit double figures as Phoenix dug in late to close it out.

Charlotte, though, are still searching for answers. The loss drops the Hornets to 4-7, with Coby White leading them with 21, while Naz Reid and Grayson Allen combined for 30. Once again, the Hornets could not sustain it for a full 48 minutes.
