The Three-pointer Shot
When Klay Thompson tied the game for the Warriors with his own three-pointer with only 2.3 seconds remaining in regulation, it appeared as though overtime would be necessary to decide the winner.
However, the Pistons were able to use a timeout to get back up the court, and Bey's long shot gave them the victory with a score of 122-119.
Bey said:
“„I had one second so I didn't have time to think - I had to shoot. I'm just grateful it went in. I don't even remember, I kind of blacked out a little bit.- Saddiq Bey

The head coach of the Warriors, Steve Kerr, lauded his team after they overcame a five-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat the Pistons, who came into the game in San Francisco with the worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Pistons were playing against the Warriors in San Francisco.
Kerr said:
“„I just told the guys how proud I am of them for holding down the fort these last couple weeks.- Steve Kerr
