After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Pistons survived the Suns 118-116. Pistons' offense had its way with the Suns. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
