FINAL: Pistons 109, Suns 107. Okorie hit the game-winning layup with 5.8 seconds left, then defended Bouyea during the potential game-winning 3 attempt. Awesome moment for the rookie.
Pistons rallied from a 19-point deficit to win this one. Lots of good stuff in the second half

FULL STORY🚨Inside Malik Beasley’s First Court Appearance in NBA Gambling Case
Beasley’s attorney, Jason Goldman, told me, “Mr. Beasley welcomes his day in Court and is eager to fight. Yet, we can’t ignore that leagues and lawmakers have aggressively embraced and promoted sports gambling, normalizing an industry that has fueled widespread addiction and financial hardship. If we are going to have an honest conversation about these issues, it cannot begin and end with individual athletes while the institutions that have profited billions, escape scrutiny. We’ll address the facts where they belong.”
