After Action Report
In a track meet, the Suns rolled past the Pistons 143-103. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. Suns' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
