After Action Report
The Suns demolished the Pistons 121-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Suns stayed locked in; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
