Johnson, Griffin team up for big 4th quarter as Pistons pull away from Suns

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Sunday afternoon’s 118-107 win over the Phoenix Suns at Little Caesars Arena

STANLEY STEAMER – The Pistons won’t be allowed to forget that they took Stanley Johnson over Devin Booker with the No. 8 pick in the 2015 draft, but Johnson lent a heavy dose of credibility to that decision – made by a front office no longer in place – with his fourth-quarter performance when the Pistons needed somebody to slow Booker. Booker, the NBA’s 13th leading scorer at 24.1 points a game, passed that by early in the third quarter and had 29 when he re-entered the game with 10 minutes to play.
