Cleveland Cavaliers defeat Detroit Pistons despite 40 points from Jerami Grant


The Pistons had another stellar individual performance on the heels of Saddiq Bey’s 51-point game on Thursday night.

Jerami Grant took center stage this time, with a season-high 40 points in a standout showing on Saturday night.

It wasn’t enough to lift the Pistons, who struggled for a stretch bridging the third and fourth quarters, in a 113-109 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse.

Pistons forward Jerami Grant (9) looks to pass the ball as Cavaliers' Lamar Stevens (8) and Darius Garland (10) defend during the first half of Saturday's game at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland.

“I definitely was feeling it, but at the end of the day, we’ve got to get the win,” said Grant, who had 27 points in the first half. “It really doesn’t mean anything unless we win.”

Grant finished 13-of-22 (59%) from the field and 7-of-9 on 3-pointers, along with making all seven of his free throws. Bey added 20 points and six rebounds and Cade Cunningham 15 points, six rebounds and 10 assists for the Pistons (19-52).
