Saddiq Bey Upstages Klay Thompson With Game-Winner in Pistons-Warriors Thriller (122-119)
A busy night in the Association featured two overtime games and seven clashes decided by three points or less. One of those occurred in the Bay, and it ended with Bey-hem. The Pistons walked into the Chase Center in San Francisco and put a stop to the Warriors’ five-game win streak with some fireworks. The Warriors rallied late to get Klay Thompson a game-tying 3 with just 1.0 seconds left, but Detroit’s Saddiq Bey called game with a buzzer-beater of his own on the other end (122-119). Bey in the Bay? Can’t make it up.
