After Action Report
The Suns held off the Pistons 125-118. Suns' scorers couldn't be contained. Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
