Another sluggish start from the Detroit Pistons puts them in a hole too big to overcome as the Memphis Grizzlies defeat the Detroit Pistons 98-86.

The Detroit Pistons took another tough loss, this time at the hands of the visiting Memphis Grizzlies. The Pistons fell behind big early after Reggie Jackson had to leave just two minutes into the game with a sore knee, and never recovered.

While Jackson returned and the Pistons make a comeback and got to within four points in the second quarter, the Grizzlies were just too much in spite of playing an overtime game the night before against the Boston Celtics.
