Cade Cunningham Struggles Against Spurs' Defensive Pressure in 121-106 Loss

Cade Cunningham recorded 26 points in a 121-106 loss to the Spurs, but struggled to find rhythm against intense defensive pressure from Stephon Castle and Carter Bryant. He committed four turnovers and required 26 shots to reach his scoring total. The loss highlighted Detroit's over-reliance on Cunningham as a primary playmaker, with the team's offensive efficiency dropping significantly when he is off the floor. Detroit currently faces a lack of secondary scoring options.
