The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Detroit Pistons, 73-70, in the Las Vegas Summer League at Cox Pavillion on Saturday.
In a close game throughout, the Grizzlies led most of the way. The Pistons pulled to within two, 66-64, with 5:23 remaining on a Larry Drew II 3-pointer but could get no closer.
Detroit had its chances late, though. Trailing 72-70 with 20 seconds left, Drew stepped out of bounds to give the ball back to the Grizzlies. Moments later following a Grizzlies free throw, Bruce Brown Jr. missed a 27-footer to tie, ending the Pistons' hopes.
