This scoreline is unfair to Phoenix, as they played much better than a 17 - point defeat would indicate. In fact, they led by 12 points early in the third quarter, before Detroit responded with a 35 - 12 run to eventually pull away. The Suns really struggled shooting, as they hit just 35 percent from the field, 27 percent from three - point range and 63 percent from the free - throw line. Detroit also dominated the rebounding, winning that battle, 63 - 47. Tyler Ulis led the way for Phoenix, as he collected 17 points, 11 assists and three steals. Alan Williams recorded another double - double off the bench, totaling 11 points and 12 rebounds. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was the Pistons best player, as he accumulated 23 points and eight assists. Andre Drummond finished with 18 points and 18 rebounds. Aron Baynes was huge off the bench, as he provided 13 points and 17 rebounds in just 17 minutes.
