After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Suns blew the doors off the Pistons 109-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Suns' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Suns locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
