After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns rolled past the Pistons 141-116. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Suns came in with something to prove after a loss; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Suns · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
