J.Valančiūnas, who achieved a powerful double, was enraged against the team of D.Sirvydis

Jonas was one of the most productive players in the game, scoring 17 points (7/14 colonies, 3/3 penalty) and grabbing 15 balls.

The Lithuanian also made an effective pass, made three errors and accumulated three fouls.

Only Grizzlies leader Ja Morantas, who scored 29 points, played better for him in the game.

Detroit coach Dwane Casey did not allow D.Sirvydis to enter the field in this game. By the way, D.Casey was J.Valančiūnas’ long-term coach when he represented the Toronto Raptors.

The Detroit team led briefly only at the start of the game. After that, the hosts took the initiative and didn’t look back. In the second half, their lead reached a record 21 points, but the Pistons refused to give up and were able to get close to a pitch early in the third quarter.

However, that was when Ja Morant started to rage, scoring 21 of his 29 points in the second half of the game. In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies quenched their opponents’ attack and prevented them from scoring six minutes, ultimately drowning Detroit.

It was the second straight win for the Grizzlies and they ranked ninth in the Western Conference.

“Grizzlies”: Ja Morantas 29, Jonas Valančiūnas 17 (Rev. 15), Kyle Anderson 16, Brandon Clarke 12, Desmond Bane 10.

“Pistons”: Delon Wright and Jerami Grant after 16, Josh Jackson during 15.
