Detroit may have finally put an end to questions with a 107-92 win over Memphis today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Gilliam was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Memphis. Gilliam let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Detroit was led by Gilliam (29 points, a steal, 4 blocks), Chapman (17 points, 15 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals), Rausch (17 points, 8 boards, 1 assists, 3 blocks). Memphis was led by Dolly (22 points, 0 assists, a steal), Murray (22 points, 6 boards, 0 assists, a steal), Brown (6 points, 9 boards, 1 assists, 2 blocks).

Detroit are now 29-3 and 16-0 at home. They stay at #1 in the Central and hold at #1 overall in the Eastern Conference. Memphis halted their winning streak at 8 games, and drop to 21-11. They hold at #1 in the Southwest and remain at #3 overall in the Western Conference.
