Javon Small recorded 21 points, nine assists and six rebounds, but his efforts weren't enough for the Grizzlies to avoid their sixth defeat in seven games. Olivier-Maxence Prosper put up 17 points, and GG Jackson scored 16.
Spurs 114, Pistons 103
Devin Vassell poured in 28 points, including seven 3-pointers, as visiting San Antonio stretched its winning streak to nine games by cooling off red-hot Detroit and snapping its five-game streak.

Jalen Duren led the East-leading Pistons with 25 points and 14 rebounds. Cade Cunningham had a very inefficient double-double, as he shot 5 of 26 from the field en route to 16 points and 10 assists.
