The game was a close one throughout the first half, with the Clippers taking a four point lead into the locker room. Detroit came out strong in the third quarter, leading by as many as eight, before taking a four point edge into the final frame. Grant scored 12 of his points during that quarter. 

In the fourth, the Pistons took control and led by 11 with 4:51 left. The lead was seven with two minutes to go and five with 46.9 seconds remaining. Back to back Detroit turnovers allowed the Clippers to take the lead in the final seconds for the victory. Detroit dropped to 16-39 on the season. 

In the previous game he played, which took place on April 6th, Grant scored 29 points on 11-18 shooting, including 3-5 from beyond the arc, against his former team the Denver Nuggets. The Pistons lost that game as well. 

Despite Detroit's struggles overall, Grant is having a superb season. He is averaging a career high 22.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.1 blocks per game. Grant signed a three year, $60 million free agent contract with the Pistons during the offseason. He spent the previous season with the Nuggets.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
