Cade Cunningham Joins Elite Company of Players
Cade Cunningham made NBA history with consecutive fourth quarters scoring 19 or more points, a rare achievement shared only by a few players. The Detroit Pistons guard delivered two remarkable late-game performances that placed him among an exclusive group.
Historic Back-to-Back Fourth Quarters
The NBA’s official statistics confirmed that Cunningham became the third player in the last five seasons to score at least 19 points in two consecutive fourth quarters. Before him, only Jamal Murray (February 17 and 19, 2021) and Kyrie Irving (January 19 and 20, 2023) accomplished this.
November 3 and 5, 2025 Performances
- On November 3, Cunningham scored 33 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter, helping the Pistons beat Memphis.
- Two nights later, he added 31 points with another 19 in the final quarter to secure a victory over Utah.
The NBA’s official stats account on X confirmed the feat.
At only 24 years old, Cunningham demonstrates the poise and confidence usually seen in veteran closers. His late-game scoring ability is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about stories of the NBA season.
If he keeps this form, his name could soon be mentioned among the league’s best finishers.
