The player: 51 points for Saddiq Bey, victory for Detroit
After LeBron James (twice), Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Karl-Anthony Towns and Kyrie Irving (twice), it’s Saddiq Bey’s turn to score 50 or more points during the month of March. 51 more precisely. An eighth performance of its kind in less than 20 days in the NBA. The young player from the Pistons – who surfed on his card to beat the Magic on Thursday evening (134-120) – does not have the same standing as the stars mentioned but his performance is no less exceptional for all that. By the way, he is the fourth player to score 50 or more points against Orlando this season. Florida players are among the worst in the league in defense. But they couldn’t do much to stop Bey when he caught fire within minutes of the game. In confidence, the winger of 22 took 14 shots behind the three-point line, for 10 baskets. A franchise record equaled.
