The Detroit Pistons are not having a great time in the league this season, as they have failed to break their losing streak yet another time. Monty Williams’ Detroit Pistons faced the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday and failed to turn the game in their favor, losing the game with a final score of 102-116.
With each passing matchup, the atmosphere at the Pistons camp is growing tenser and it was about time the head coach, Monty Williams, took some action. Williams unleashed his fury recently in an angry message, as his patience is being tested at extreme levels.
Pistons coach Monty Williams warns of patience loss
The head coach of the Detroit Pistons, Monty Williams, lost his cool after the Pistons suffered a loss against the Memphis Grizzlies. Monty unleashed his anger and warned the Detroit squad of his losing patience. The Pistons have been performing very poorly and the game against the Grizzlies was no exception.
Monty Williams’ statements were reported on X (formerly Twitter) by Mike Curtis. He blatantly criticized the team’s defense and offense and highlighted the key mistakes committed by his squad. He reportedly said, “We could not make a shot. We had wide-open threes…The personal pride to guard the ball and not let a guy get to the ball.” It would not be unfair to say that the Pistons were thrashed by the Grizzles and the head coach’s anger is justified.
Grizzlies triumph over Pistons
The Detroit Pistons faced the Memphis Grizzles in a match that could be called a thrashing for the Pistons. Despite multiple clear opportunities to score to establish a lead and possibly win the game, the Pistons managed to fumble most of the opportunities and continue their embarrassing losing streak this season. Williams is furious with the performance of his squad and his anger is justified in every sense.
The first half of the game was a good one for the Pistons and it looked like a much-needed victory was not a dream. However, the Grizzlies’ performances so far can be considered poor this season but they knew how to secure the win and had a clear motivation to do so. The Pistons lacked in that department and lost by a final score of 102-116. Jaren Jackson Jr. and Grizzlies favorite Desmond Bane sealed the deal for the Memphis side in the final quarter, making it impossible for the lackluster Pistons to make a comeback.
