Malachi Flynn Makes History with 50-Point Game for Pistons
In a high-scoring showdown against the Hawks, Malachi Flynn of the Detroit Pistons made headlines by dropping an impressive 50 points. While the Pistons ultimately fell short against the Hawks, Flynn’s performance was one for the books.
Flynn’s 50-point game marked a historic moment for the Pistons, as it is the most points ever scored by a bench player in the team’s history. Additionally, it is the second-most points scored by a player off the bench in NBA history.
What makes Flynn’s achievement even more remarkable is that he has the lowest scoring average of any player with a 50-point game in NBA history. Despite his record-breaking performance, Flynn remains humble and focused on winning games. He expressed that while it feels good to score 50 points, his ultimate goal is to contribute to the team’s success.
This game was a first for Flynn, as he had never reached the 50-point mark at any level of basketball before. Acquired by the Pistons at the NBA trade deadline, Flynn has quickly made a name for himself in Detroit.
Prior to this game, Flynn’s career-high scoring was 27 points, making his 50-point explosion even more surprising. Joining the 50-point club with other lesser-known players like Corey Brewer and Saddiq Bey, Flynn’s performance was truly exceptional.
Pistons coach Monty Williams praised Flynn’s work ethic and dedication to the game, noting that his performance was a testament to his hard work. In 34 minutes of play, Flynn shot an impressive 18 of 25 from the field, showcasing his efficiency and scoring prowess.
While the Pistons may not have come out on top in this game, Malachi Flynn’s historic 50-point performance will certainly be remembered as a standout moment in his career and in the team’s history.
