After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Suns 74-68. Pistons torched the Suns on the offensive end. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Suns are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Suns locker-room rift aren't helping. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.

- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
