Pistons star winds up on the receiving end of a poster dunk vs Rockets
faced off against the Houston Rockets Sunday in an afternoon matchup. In the midst of the game, Cade Cunningham found himself on the receiving end of a viral play.
Cunningham is fresh off pulling off a pair of highlight plays Friday with his game-winning layup and block against the Hawks. However, Sunday would end up being a different story for the former No. 1 pick. At the start of the fourth quarter, Cunningham found himself being guarded by Amen Thompson, twin brother of Pistons wing Ausar Thompson. Amen ended up poking the ball free, resulting in a fastbreak for the Rockets. As the lone man back, Cunningham did what he could to try and stop Houston from scoring. Amen ended up passing the ball to a trailing Jalen Green, who proceeded to rise up and throw down a vicious dunk on the Pistons guard.
Green and Cunningham are two players who are closely connected, being part of the same draft class. Detroit took their blue-chip prospect first overall in 2021, and then the Rockets proceeded to take Green with the No. 2 pick. Aside from his poster slam, Green has struggled offensively against the Pistons. He has 13 points and five rebounds and on 6-for-16 shooting from the field.
