After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Pistons 96-91. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
