After Action Report
The Suns handled the Pistons 111-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Suns per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
