Mavs are soft doubling Bogey when he puts the ball on the deck. He’s made good reads but Detroit has missed two wide-open 3s.
Dallas up 10-0. – 8:44 PM

📅 On this day in 2018, the @Houston Rockets James Harden had 60 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists versus the Magic.
He became the first player in NBA history to record a 60 point triple-double, a feat that has only been matched by Luka Doncic.

I asked Dwane Casey pregame about young players coming into the NBA with aspirations of being a star and/or go-to guys, but 99.9 percent having to eventually settle in as role player. When does that realization happen?

I think one thing that gets a little bit of an overreaction when evaluating the Pistons at the deadline is Bogey’s age. Yes, he’s 33, but he has a career-high usage this season, is having his best scoring season and has only missed three games. – 3:26 PM
