Malik Beasley complemented Cunningham’s stellar outing with 23 points, including six three-pointers, as the Pistons continued their strong stretch, going 7-3 in their last 10 games.
Despite a career-high 53 points from Anthony Edwards, Minnesota fell short, suffering a third consecutive loss.
Edwards, another former No. 1 pick, surpassed his previous best of 51 points set last season but couldn’t carry the Timberwolves to victory.
With the loss, Minnesota dropped to 17-17, holding the 10th spot in the Western Conference.
