    In about 6 minutes, the Memphis Grizzlies had allowed their 23-point lead to be cut to seven. Coach Lionel Hollins had just been called for a technical foul, and there was more than enough time for Detroit to finish its comeback.

    Mike Conley calmly halted the Pistons' run with a running jumper from about 10 feet. Then he stole the ball at midcourt and went in for an easy layup.

    "(Teammate) Josh Davis was telling me how every time a team seems to get to five, six points, I tend to come up with some buckets or steals or big plays," Conley said. "I don't know what it is, but I just try to not let that game get out of hand."

    Conley finished with 14 points and 11 assists, and Memphis took advantage of 25 Detroit turnovers to beat the Pistons 98-81 on Friday night. Rudy Gay scored 24 points to help the Grizzlies thwart a second-half rally by the Pistons.
