After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Suns 124-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
