Building Momentum: Pistons Pick up win against Grizzlies

By Calvin Little

Last night, the Pistons headed out to Memphis to take on the 3-4 Grizzlies, who are now 3-5, after the Pistons handed them a 114-106 defeat that made the flight home all the better. In this league, winning on the road is impressive, especially with crowds that maintain noise throughout all 4 quarters of the game.

Looking at this matchup, both sides had a star player. The Pistons with Cade Cunningham, and Memphis with Ja Morant. However, thanks to a well-designed roster, the Pistons were able to get the upper hand. Even so, looking at who performed the best between Cade and Ja, Cade did easily, scoring 3 points to Ja's 18.

So far, the Pistons are sitting at 5-2, and 3rd in the Eastern Conference. Tonight, they take on the Utah Jazz, who are 3-4, and overall, not expected to amount to a strong season. Right now, the key thing the Pistons have to do is keep momentum rolling. With the frequency of games, there's not a lot of time to slow down and catch you breath. Losses will happen, but it's the rebounds that follow that are important.
