After Action Report

The Pistons edged the Suns 121-113. Pistons' offense had its way with the Suns. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
