DETROIT — After nearly three weeks of subpar play due to injury, Cade Cunningham led the Detroit Pistons to a 139-116 blowout win over the Sacramento Kings Sunday. Inside Little Caesars Arena, Cunningham scored 29 points, shooting 13 of 22 from the field. He also recorded 11 assists, five rebounds, three steals and one block. The only downside to the All-NBA guard's performance was his ball security, as he committed five turnovers.

In addition to Cunningham, the Pistons had seven players who scored in double figures. Jalen Duren finished with 18 points and six rebounds. Tobias Harris added 16 points with four made 3-point field goals. Jaden Ivey led Detroit's bench unit with 11 points on 3-of-4 shooting from behind the arc. Ron Holland II also scored 11 points before getting ejected during the final five minutes of the fourth quarter.

Malik Monk led the Kings with 19 points. DeMar DeRozan finished with 16 points on 6-of-12 shooting from the field with four assists.
