Pistons overcome injuries, trade-deadline distractions in win over Suns

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 116-108 win over the Phoenix Suns at Little Caesars Arena

SUN BLOCKERS – Two teams wracked by injuries and upended by rampant trade rumors met with Thursday’s 3 p.m. deadline for deals looming and played about as evenly as you might have expected given the similarities of their straits. Maybe it was the home court that tipped it or maybe it was Andre Drummond’s 31 points and 19 rebounds or Reggie Jackson’s 25 points and 10 assists. The Pistons won their second straight home game despite again suiting up without five of their most gifted scorers in Blake Griffin, Luke Kennard, Derrick Rose, Markieff Morris and Svi Mykhailiuk.
