After Action Report

The Pistons outlasted the Suns 121-109. The Suns had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
