Phx (109) / Det (94) The Pistons had their moments, but for the most part the Suns got an easy win last night at the Palace.
The Suns shot 56.2% and lit up the Pistons from downtown 51.7% hitting on 15 of 29 attempts. The Pistons didn’t fare so well from behind the long-line going 2 of 11. Some guy named Jared Dudley hit on 6 of 7 from deep giving the Suns 20 off the bench. The 20 by Dudley was yet another guy going for a career high against the Pistons’ defense.
Amare Stoudemire took advantage of the Pistons on the interior scoring 29 on 13-15 shooting. Only 3 of those makes weren’t at point blank range right in front of the rim.
Ben Gordon led the Pistons scoring with 21 but honestly most of his scoring came at a meaningless juncture of the game. Charlie Villanueva played 18 minutes scoring 6 points on 3-for-9 shooting.
GAME NOTES: Rip (ankle) & Maxiell (back) were out … Ben Wallace has missed 22 of his last 25 shots from the line, and is shooting 38% for the season – three points better than Kwame Brown … Ben Wallace will wait to decide future … Grant Hill: 17 pts, 8 asts, 6 rbs … Pistons may send rookie trio for summer play … Jerebko: 14 points, 10 boards …
