After Action Report
The Suns ran roughshod over the Pistons 112-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Suns ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
