After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Suns 99-96. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
