After Action Report

In Phoenix, the Pistons squeaked past the Suns 94-93. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Suns' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
