PHOENIX — The Phoenix Suns are for real. After shattering preseason projections, the Suns are 29-19 and buzzing after their most recent 18-point win over the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons on Thursday.
Sometimes there is a calm before the storm. A moment of clarity before chaos ensues. An instant where anticipation creeps in and you have to grab your emotions by the collar before they sprint off without you.
The first half against the best team in the Eastern Conference was impressive. Flat out. The Suns shot 47.4% from three, and they were the aggressor. They pushed around a team that usually does the pushing, and they walked into halftime with a 16-point lead.
In one of the more surprising outcomes this season, the injury-ridden Phoenix Suns cruised to a huge 114-96 win over the East-leading Detroit Pistons behind a career night from Dillon Brooks.
The Phoenix Suns distributed "Dillon the Villain" T-shirts to fans on Thursday. Dillon Brooks turned it into more than just a fashion statement. Brooks scored a career-high 40 points and made four 3-pointers as the Suns opened a back-to-back set with a 114-96 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Thursday.
Most NBA players, no matter how successful, are out of the league before the end of their 30s, or even their 20s. That leaves a lot of life left to live, and a good handful of players have made the most of their professional lives after leaving the court.

Devin Booker has made a name for himself both on and off the court. The Phoenix Suns star is a four-time NBA All-Star and one of the league’s most dynamic scorers.
The Phoenix Suns found a way around their guard shortage in a victory over Brooklyn on Tuesday. They went right to the paint. Center Mark Williams scored a season-high 27 points in a late comeback win, and it wouldn't be surprising if the Suns used a similar strategy when they host the East-leading Detroit Pistons on Friday.
