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. It didn't sit well with the All-Star forward. "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. "This time we just happened to come out on top. We got a lucky miss, a lucky bounce and we were able to get a wide-open dunk, but this doesn't feel like that good of a win. Obviously, we'll take it, but stuff like this is why we've lost so many games." 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. read more http://www.espn.com/nba/recap?gameId=401071387
