After a big win at home to the Raptors, the Pistons, whose confidence grew, took a break and ushered in the Challenge of the Suns during their two-game winning streak.
In the Pistons, team coach Casey is very cautious, following the previous starting lineup, trying to defend the home court through a steady and steady way, and the sword is two consecutive wins.
On the other hand, after the Suns are absent from the sun team due to injury and lose this tiger player, whether the Suns can withstand the pressure will obviously face a big test!
Fortunately, after 4 quarters of play, with the excellent play of Booker + Payne, the Suns, who were mainly anti-away, comprehensively suppressed the Pistons in the first half and achieved a 10-point lead.
Coupled with the return of the second half, the Suns in the third quarter took advantage of the chase, constantly expanding the score gap on the court, Cunningham was expelled again, and the Pistons were unable to return to the sky in the last quarter, and could only surrender voluntarily.
In the end, the Suns also won 135-108 on the road to the Pistons, which was worth the trip to win 3 consecutive wins, but also gave the opponent Pistons a 27-point defeat!
Rushing to the away game in this game, the Suns can be described as all soldiers, playing a team attack with 6 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming, establishing a leading edge early.
In the case of paul + Bridges + Shamet and other main players, continuing a stable performance, the core of the team Booker, as well as the play of Payne + McGee on the bench, is particularly critical!
In this game, Booker was full of firepower, starting 29 minutes, shooting more than 60% of the 11-in-18 shooting, and it also exploded a game-high 30 points, plus 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
Among them, his heroic performance of scoring 15 points in the first quarter of the first quarter not only helped the Suns to open the situation smoothly, but also provided the team with a powerful firepower, which once became an invincible existence for the Pistons!
Of course, the Suns were able to win a big victory in this game, and the play of Tigers Payne + McGee was also indispensable.
In this game, Payne found a crosshair, hit 3 three-pointers from the outside, and got 20 points, 5 rebounds + 5 assists, not only on the offensive end, but also revitalized the team's offense!
In the case of Ayton's injury, McGee was ordered to be in danger, and it was also a great achievement, coming off the bench for 14 minutes, scoring 20 points + 6 rebounds + 1 block on 9 of 10 shots.
And his key performance in the third quarter, 4 shots and 4 bullets without false shots, not only completely disrupted the pistons' offensive and defensive rhythm, but also made a vital contribution to the Suns to win the game!
It's just that for the Suns, despite the team's strong three-game winning streak, it also consolidated the throne of the First Place in the West.
But rationally speaking, in the case of the core of the team, Ayton, is plagued by injuries, the Suns' prospects and situation in the next schedule are obviously not optimistic!
On the other hand, on the Pistons side, although the team finally lost this game and suffered a 27-point rout, the Pistons were not completely without highlights in this battle.
After all, despite being expelled, Canningan played a bloody game!
Cunningham played well, starting 23 minutes, scoring 21 points + 1 rebound + 4 assists + 1 steal on 9-of-15 shooting, and his heroic performance of 10 points against Booker in the first quarter made the home fans directly addicted.
Just in the face of the huge gap in the strength and depth of the lineup, the inexperienced and relatively young Pistons in this game seem to have no choice but to accept the reality!
As for the next schedule, the game is gradually getting better and better, whether he can continue this momentum of daring to fight, we obviously only have to wait and see!
