After Action Report
The Suns snuck past the Pistons 99-94. Suns' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Suns' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
