[Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] Add a connected post to title when saving

What I would like to achieve:
Add custom post type ‘Game’: Testing Game
Connect to custom post type ‘Team’: A Team

When saving/publishing: change title of the ‘Game’ to: Testing Game – A Team

I’m using this code in functions.php
```
function change_title($data, $postarr) {

	if ($data['post_type'] == 'games') {

	$data['post_title'] = 'new title';
	return $data;
	} else {
	return $data;}
}

add_filter('wp_insert_post_data','change_title',99,2);
```
I looked through the code, but can’t find how the connection is saved when publishing the post (but i’m not very php savvy…).
Any hints on how I could achieve this?

Ok, got this working, but maybe not best way to do it…

function custom_post_type_title ( $post_id ) {
    global $wpdb;
    if ( get_post_type( $post_id ) == 'games' ) {

	$connected = p2p_get_connected ($post_id, 'to');
	foreach ($connected  as $key => $value) {
		if ( get_post_type( $value ) == 'team' ) {
        $title = get_the_title($value);
break;
		}
	}
        $where = array( 'ID' => $post_id );
        $wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, array( 'post_title' => $title ), $where );
    }
}
add_action( 'save_post', 'custom_post_type_title',100,2);

I tried replacing the p2p_get_connected with

$connected1 = get_posts( array(
        'post_type' => 'team',
        'connected' => $post_id,
        'posts_per_page' => 1,
        'suppress_filters' => false
    ) );

but this didn’t work (empty array)
