The Pistons closed out their six-game West Coast road swing with a 108-102 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday night.
Like their previous five road games, the Pistons remained competitive throughout the game against the team with the best record in the Western Conference despite being down four starters.
The loss snapped a brief two-game win streak for the Pistons, their longest of the season. Detroit is now 5-16.
The Pistons were already shorthanded without Cade Cunningham, Saddiq Bey and Isaiah Stewart, but the team was also thin in the backcourt without Jaden Ivey, who did not play in Friday's loss due to right knee soreness.
