Detroit — The Pistons had to go to the desert to end their cold streak.
And they had to hold on in the final minutes to get it done, behind Derrick Rose.
Rose bloomed in the desert, tying his season high with 31 points, including two sensational drives in the final minute, carrying the Pistons to a thrilling 113-111 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Friday night at Talking Stick Resort Arena.
