After Action Report

The Suns snuck past the Pistons 106-103. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
