NBA Stats reports that Cunningham became one of the few players to record at least 225 points and 50 assists in a single playoff series. It is a milestone that has only been reached by some of the game’s greatest names.
The most recent players to achieve that mark were Giannis Antetokounmpo and Luka Doncic in 2021.
Beyond them, only LeBron James, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson have done it. That places Cunningham firmly among elite historical company after his latest outing.
In Game 7, he delivered a double-double with 32 points and 12 assists. He also received strong support from Tobias Harris, who added 30 points in the victory.
The combination proved decisive as Detroit took control and closed out the series emphatically.
Cunningham’s performances underline his ability to elevate his game when it matters most, as his playoff output has surpassed an already strong regular season baseline.
According to SofaScore, he averaged 23.9 points per game during the regular season. That figure jumped significantly against the Magic, where he averaged 32.4 points per game.
