Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley was in a jovial mood following his team`s decisive 106-103 victory over the New York Knicks in Game 5, a win that successfully prevented their elimination from the playoffs. Beasley contributed 10 points coming off the bench during the crucial game. After the win, he marked the occasion by posting “Back to Detroit” accompanied by a black heart emoji.
In response to Beasley`s post, a fan commented, predicting that Knicks forward Mikal Bridges would score 44 points in their upcoming game on Thursday. Beasley offered a witty comeback to this prediction.
While the specific witty response isn`t detailed here, the article notes that Mikal Bridges` career high in points is 45. This context suggests Beasley`s remark likely related to the proximity of the fan`s prediction (44 points) to Bridges` personal best (45 points), perhaps acknowledging Bridges` capability or playfully questioning the fan`s specific number.
