Memphis, Tenn. – The Pistons entered Friday’s primetime matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies as losers of six of the last seven meetings.
It was a prime opportunity to get over the hump against one of the most talented teams in the Western Conference.
However, that dismal trend continued as Detroit was overwhelmingly defeated in the final game of their three-game road trip, a 114-103 loss to Memphis at FedExForum.
Detroit (7-21) trailed by as many as 22 points, but pulled within 11 with just a minute remaining but it was too little, too late as they suffered their second loss to the Grizzlies (17-9) this week.
