After Action Report
The Suns squeaked past the Pistons 100-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
