After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Suns 103-96. Pistons torched the Suns on the offensive end. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Suns · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
