Detroit Pistons reserve point guard Malachi Flynn had a standout performance on Wednesday night, scoring 50 points in a 121-113 loss to the Atlanta Hawks. This remarkable feat marked just the third time in NBA history that a player off the bench has scored 50 points or more since starters were first tracked in the 1970-71 season.
Flynn expressed mixed emotions about his achievement, stating, 'Right now, it's tough because at the end of the day, you want to win. But it does feel good to kind of take in the moment. I'm sure a couple of days from now, it will feel really good.'
