The Detroit Pistons defeated the Phoenix Suns, 112 - 95, at Palace of Auburn Hills on Sunday. Detroit was expected to win this game easily, but it took a late run for them to prevail. In fact, the Pistons went on a 35 - 12 run in a 10 - minute span between the third and fourth quarters to overcome a 12 - point deficit and eventually pull away. The game was relatively close up to that point though, as there were nine lead changes, with neither team leading by more than 12 points until the final five minutes. Phoenix really struggled with their shots, as they went just 35 percent from the field, 27 percent from three - point range and 63 percent from the free - throw line.
