After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons ran roughshod over the Suns 128-88. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons steamroller is in full effect right now. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
