James Harden's impressive 50-point performance against the Pistons overshadowed Detroit's struggles, as they fell to a 2-2 record over their last four games. The game sparked a revival of past comments from Malik Beasley, who previously claimed Harden was easy to defend. In response to Harden's scoring outburst, Patrick Beverley humorously admonished Beasley on social media, highlighting the irony of his bold statement. As the Pistons prepare to face the Golden State Warriors and their star Stephen Curry, this incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of NBA narratives.
