Grizzlies open the second half with a 10-2 run and are leading the Pistons by 24. – 9:31 PM
Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Jordan Poole 0-of-8 shooting early in the third quarter in New Orleans. He scored 32 in his only other game without Steph Curry this season. Warriors won that night in Detroit. Probably going to need something from him to beat the Pelicans. – 9:31 PM
Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
If Jaren has position, Grizzlies wings have to get him the ball sooner in the post. It’s not fair to Trip. It leads to rushing after the pass to get a shot up.
Obviously it’ll come, but if he’s down there fighting, get him the ball. – 9:28 PM

Dillon Brooks is back. He has 11. – 9:28 PM

Joe Mullinax @sbnGrizzlies
So far…
-Ziaire Williams has a career high 14 points… in the first half.
-Grizzlies have great energy just have to control that energy into productive possessions.
-Detroit is good at making the opposing team turn the ball over, but they turn the ball over more.. Fun game. – 9:05 PM

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The Grizzlies are not playing with their food right now. Leading the Pistons 32-18 after one quarter. Ziaire Williams, the biggest surprise in the starting lineup, is leading the way with 11 points. Looks like a good call by Taylor Jenkins. – 8:36 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
End of 1: Grizzlies 32, Pistons 18. Detroit shot just 31.8% (7-22) overall. Grizzlies shot 51.9% (14-27).
Seven Pistons have scored, and Lyles and Lee have four points each. – 8:36 PM

Ziaire Williams making it look easy in his first start.
11pts in the 1st qtr and a perfect 4-4 FG. – 8:35 PM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Tyus Jones has been so much more aggressive as a scorer since all of the players went into protocols. You wondered if he would keep that same aggression when they got back, and he has so far. Tyus Jones is one of the best backup PGs in the NBA when he plays like this. – 8:33 PM
Rod Beard @detnewsRodBeard
Is #Pistons Josh Jackson the best in-game dunker on the team?
I think Saben Lee is, but he hasn’t gotten his best ones off yet. – 8:32 PM

I love the fact that Grizz are in attack mode. They know DET played last night. Play with force and don’t bail out Pistons defense by shooting threes. – 8:28 PM

Ziaire Williams has been playing with a lot of confidence since he got back. You don’t see a lot of the normal hesitancies in his game that you often get with rookies. He did mention how the game slowed down for him while he was out and got those mental reps. You can see it. – 8:18 PM

I just know this is Ja Morant in the pop-a-shot game. Him and Tyus Jones probably could set high scores at all the pop-a-shots across Memphis. Two of the best floaters in the game. pic.twitter.com/jT0XdbnFzF – 8:15 PM

Dwane Casey on the youthful Pistons: “We’re so young. These guys should be playing for Memphis State.” – 6:38 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Asked Casey about the approach of containing Ja Morant: “It’s gotta be on us. We’ve gotta take charges, go vertical at the rim, and most of all do a good job of keeping him in front of us. Mix in some blitzes.” – 6:37 PM
James Edwards III @JLEdwardsIII
Casey said the Grizzlies’ hustle stats stand out. Mentioned that they not only create turnovers, but they capitalize with points. – 6:36 PM
Omari Sanfoka II @omarisankofa
Asked Casey about the process of evaluating players on 10-day contracts. “We’ve known those guys, scouts have followed their career.” Said they brought Micah Potter in during the draft process, and he followed Justin Robinson at Virginia Tech. – 6:34 PM

Casey said they brought Micah Potter in during the draft process, they followed Justin Robinson through college (believe Weaver has followed him through AAU). – 6:34 PM

On a positive note, Lonnie Walker is rejoining Spurs in Philly after clearing protocols and could return Friday vs. Sixers, a league source said.
Doug McDermott remains in protocols in Detroit.
The Spurs are in the process of trying to a couple of 10-day hardship players. – 2:24 PM
