After Action Report
In Detroit, the Suns ran roughshod over the Pistons 120-99. The Suns got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Suns steamroller is in full effect right now; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Suns · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
