Desmond Bane (49 points) and the Grizzlies made the difference in the last quarter to win against the Pistons, thus inflicting an 18th defeat in a row on Monty Williams' players.

“We can't blame anyone else. That's the only thing I can tell the guys. We are bad”, explains Bojan Bogdanovic to Free Press. “I feel like we give our all more when we train against each other.

No one will help us, there will be no miracle. Discipline is difficult but we need a victory to feel better and for the wheel to turn. »

The black series could therefore continue for a few more days. As a reminder, only 15 teams have lost 19 games in a row or more in NBA history.
