Detroit Pistons reserve point guard Malachi Flynn gave a rare 50-point performance in Wednesday night's 121-113 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

It was just the third game of 50 points or more by a player off the bench since starters were first tracked in 1970-71. Jamal Crawford scored 51 for the Phoenix Suns in a loss to the Dallas Mavericks in 2019, and Nick Anderson had 50 for the Orlando Magic in a win over the New Jersey Nets in 1993.
