The 22-year-old scored 26 of his 30 points in the final 24 minutes. He had seven of his 12 assists in that span, too. Cunningham played 38 minutes without recording a turnover. This is star stuff. These are things people thought Cunningham would achieve. These are things people questioned whether he could do after an up-and-down rookie season. All it took was a historic losing streak for the world to see that Cunningham could be a special player. “I’ve always liked when everyone is tuned in,” Cunningham told The Athletic after the victory. “It’s not that I change my approach or feel any different. (Having people watch) does something to me. “The stakes were getting higher and higher. I know I had to up my play. I just had to figure out what else my team needed from me. I needed to elevate my game (to end this losing streak). This is where it took me.”
