Griffin scores 37, Pistons hold off Pelicans 98-94

The Associated Press

Blake Griffin got Detroit off to a hot start, but the Pistons still had to scratch out a victory in the final seconds over the Anthony Davis-less Pelicans. ''The way we finished the game was the reason we've lost so many close games,'' said Griffin, referring to Detroit's 95-87 lead with 1:32 left that nearly evaporated down the stretch. Griffin scored 20 of his game-high 37 points in the fourth quarter of Detroit's 98-94 win over New Orleans, which was playing its second straight game without Davis.
