The Phoenix Suns are not the most talented team in the NBA, but they do have a collective heart and hustle that will help them win ugly games when their shots are not falling.
It wasn't a heavyweight battle in any sense of the word, but the Suns showed grit and determination in pulling out the win despite another poor shooting effort. Shannon Brown was key in the fourth, while Dragic and Gortat and Scola were the steadiest.
In what seemed at times a much more uncomfortable game than it should have been, the Phoenix Suns were able to outlast the Detroit Pistons to go 1-1 on the season.
The Phoenix Suns need to bounce back from their disappointing season opener, and Detroit should be a great candidate for such a task. Will the Suns be able to shake off the poor shooting and inconsistencies from game one and get themselves back in sync as they appeared to be in the preseason?
With a heartbreaking home loss to the Golden State Warriors now in the rear view mirror, the Suns must focus on redeeming themselves against a very beatable Detroit Pistons team tonight. Will they rise to the occasion?
