MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The Memphis Grizzlies went long distance to break open a close game.

 

Memphis, 22nd in the league in 3-point shooting, hit 5 of 6 from 3-point range in the fourth quarter to beat the Detroit Pistons 100-83 on Saturday night.

 

O.J. Mayo scored 17 points, going 4 of 5 outside the arc and connecting on all three attempts in the fourth quarter, when Memphis scored 17 unanswered points.

 

"We're not a big 3-point shooting team, but, believe it or not, we have 3-point shooters on this team," said Memphis guard Mike Conley, the only Memphis player to miss a long-range attempt down the stretch. "Our philosophy is so much inside-out that we just don't look to shoot the ball at the 3-point line."

 

That was reflected in the scoring from the Grizzlies front line starters. Marc Gasol had 17 points and nine rebounds. Marreese Speights scored 16 points, and Rudy Gay added 15. Quincy Pondexter had 10 of his 12 points in the fourth quarter, while Conley finished with 10 points and 12 assists.

 

Rodney Stuckey led the Pistons with 20 points, although he was 6 of 22 from the field. Brandon Knight scored 15, and Greg Monroe had 14 points and 11 rebounds. Tayshaun Prince added 13 points.
