Delgado had 41 points today, helping Detroit to a win today in a key game against Memphis. Although standings were at stake, the game was as much about bragging rights as anything. The teams have a long history against each other that began when coaches David Smith and Bob traded insults after an apparently intentional injury to one of David Smith's players. Although Bob has long denied that there was any malicious intent, Detroit fans don't believe it and turn out in large numbers whenever Memphis comes to town.

Detroit was led by Delgado (41 points, 16 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Newman (14 points, 13 boards, 2 assists, 2 blocks), Moore (9 points, 4 assists, a steal). Memphis was led by Maxwell (23 points, 1 assists, 2 blocks), Williams (6 points, 11 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks), Simmons (7 points, 10 boards, 0 assists, a block).
