After Action Report
The Suns buried the Pistons 118-96. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
