Cunningham說：「這（輸球）很艱難，我們讓我們自己曾經處在好的機會可以贏球，但突然在第三節大當機。」
談到這場些連敗紀錄，Cunningham也表示自己從來沒有遇過這樣的逆境，因此想辦法跨越這些逆境必會使自己能夠成長。
Cunningham: “I’ve never been through anything like this, so going through it has definitely made me grow as a person for sure.”

球賽內容上，Cunningham認爲自己下半場在做擋拆配合時，沒有感覺到很舒服的配合；被問到能與東區第一的塞爾提克一戰，Cunningham說：「這顯示出我們跟他們是差不多等級的球隊，面對NBA任何一支球隊，我從來沒有感覺過我們會被對手痛宰，至少在我的人生當中也沒有遇過。」
Cunningham said the #Celtics picked him up earlier and made the #Pistons get into their sets slower, so he couldn’t get to his spots behind the play.

“I don’t feel like I came off a pick-and-roll clean the whole second half.”
Cade on pros of close game with Boston: “I think it shows we’re on the same level as all of these teams we’re playing against. There’s no team that I’ve ever came across in the NBA where I just felt like I was going into a slaughterhouse. I’ve never felt like that in my life.”
