The Pistons led the Grizzlies 46-to-43 at halftime last night at the Palace but Memphis took over in the second half to beat Detroit 107-to-99. The Pistons, who have lost five of six, were led by Ben Gordon’s 25 points. Ex-Spartan Zach Randolph had 34 points and 17 rebounds for Memphis.

Detroit guard Richard Hamilton, who remains the subject of trade rumors, was in uniform, but stayed on the bench for the whole game. The Pistons host Dallas Saturday night.
