After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Suns 111-74. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. The Suns looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
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.
