After Action Report
The Grizzlies downed the Pistons 103-90. The Grizzlies won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
