The NBA regular season continues. The Pistons visit Atlanta today to challenge the Hawks. Both teams are on a winning streak, and Cunningham is back on the Pistons side.

Although the Hawks counterattacked wildly in the second half, the Pistons were stable offensively and defensively, and ultimately defeated the Hawks 120-112. Just today, the 24-year-old No. 1 pick broke out and reached a unique record in the 21st century. 270 million is really not expensive.

In the first quarter, the Pistons showed a strong posture. Dun Luo scored three consecutive points from the outside, and Cunningham sent 3 assists to connect the team, quickly establishing a 13-5 advantage. The Hawks relied on Jaylen Johnson's breakthrough to hit the basket, contributing 9 points in a single quarter to lead a 7-0 counterattack. At the critical moment, the Pistons once again exerted their strength and ended with an 8-3 offensive, leading 35-30 in the first quarter.

The Pistons got better in the second quarter, and Cunningham completely activated the offensive system. He sent out 8 assists in the first two quarters, and his inside cooperation with Duren worked well. Duren made a comeback in the paint, scoring 10 points in a single quarter, and the Pistons widened the point difference to 19 points. Although the Hawks relied on Okongwu's three-pointer and Walker's breakthrough to chase points tenaciously, the Pistons firmly controlled the rhythm and maintained a 13-point advantage at halftime at 67-54.

After the change of sides, the Eagles launched a fierce counterattack. Jaylen Johnson led the team to launch a 13-5 offensive, closing the point difference to 5 points. At this time, Cunningham stepped forward and reopened the score with a three-pointer and two precise passes. After the third quarter, the Pistons stabilized the situation 94-82. In the last quarter, the Hawks' Walker suddenly broke out and scored 8 points in a row to narrow the point difference to 2 points. The atmosphere reached its peak. At the critical moment, Cunningham used a mid-range shot and a deft layup to score 4 points in a row, reestablishing the Pistons' advantage. Duren then withstood the pressure and hit multiple free throws to seal the victory. In the end, the Pistons won by 8 points and won 11 consecutive games.

A total of 5 players from the Hawks scored in double figures. Gay scored 11 points, Daniels scored 12 points, Okongwu scored 21 points, Jaylen Johnson scored 25 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, a near-triple double. Walker also scored 24 points. The Pistons' starting five were all outstanding. Boss Cunningham scored 25 points and 10 assists. Jenkins and Dun Luo each scored 14 points. Stewart scored 13 points. Center Duren also scored 24 points.

It is worth mentioning that in the past 5 games, Cunningham has scored at least 25 points and 10 assists. He has also become the only defender in the 21st century to have at least 25 points and 10 assists in 5 consecutive games and win in each of them. This record is very valuable, and the Pistons have also achieved the first record in the Eastern Conference with 13 wins and 2 losses. Regardless of personal performance or team leadership results, Cunningham's super maximum salary of 270 million is really not expensive.
