FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Sunday night’s 112-95 win over the Phoenix Suns at The Palace
SLAM DUNK – Maybe that will get the Pistons going offensively. After three straight stultifying outings and trailing a depleted and lottery-bound team by 12 points midway through the third quarter, the Pistons scored 35 points over a span of 8:06. It started with a 3-pointer from an unlikely source, Ish Smith, a 23 percent 3-point shooter who had been 0 of 6 from the field before that make. Then Jon Leuer, who had been 0 of 5, converted a layup into a three-point play and the dam had burst.
