A performance worthy of the original Bad Boys this was not. The Detroit Pistons, donning their Bad Boys alternate uniforms and court for the first time were easily dispatched at home by an undermanned Phoenix Suns team 120-106.
The Suns were without Bradley Beal and Devin Booker, but that doesn’t matter when you have Kevin Durant to give you 41 points and can seemingly score in the paint at will no matter who is driving the lane.
Detroit gave up 30 paint points in the first 16 minutes of the game and surrendered 64 overall to go with losing the free-throw (-14) and rebounding (-10) battles.
