The looks at the beginning of the season were to the American Cade Cunningham, number one of the draft. In Michigan, a lot of fans and the people of the club had high hopes about him. However, there is other player that is giving hopes from a secondary role, not less relevant. We are talking about Saddiq Bey, who put the icing to a very good season and scoring 51 points in the visit to Orlando.
The forward of the Pistons, who already showed in other situations his potential, scored 17 out 27 in field shots (including and excellent 10 out 14 in triples) and 7 out 10 in free shots. Also, he did other good actions like 9 rebounds, gave 4 assistants to his teammates and stolen three balls. Basically he did one of the best performance in his current career as a basketball player in NBA.
With Saddiq Bey playing very good, the boys of Dwane Casey come backed of the good start of Magic. On the break, the away team was 12 points ahead. Then, in the second half and despite of the acceptable performance of the Florida´s team, the y managed perfectly all the match to achieved the victory.
Following with Bey, is the eighth player that reach the 50 points in March when there are still some weeks to end. This is currently a crazy month. The guy from the Villanova University was close to achieve the record of the franchise. Joe Dumars (NBA Draft of 1985) scored in 1994 ten triples. Bey couldn´t beat it against Magic.
Detroit Pistons marched up to 136 points and in this way, lot of players did a great match. Marvin Bagley III, did a double-double with 20 points and 11 rebounds. The young player said that he was happy about his performance. His teammate in the inside game, Isaiah Stewart, did another double-double. In this case with 16 points and 10 rebounds.
Finally and despite of the good match of away team, they are in the same position. Both teams are doing a bad season and they are last and penultimate in the Eastern Conference.
