Phoenix Suns set franchise record with 18th straight win

The Phoenix Suns set a franchise record on Thursday night by winning their 18th consecutive game by defeating the visiting Detroit Pistons 114-103.

The previous record was held by the 2006-07 Suns who went on to finish 61-21. Phoenix improved to a league-best 19-3 with the victory.

The Suns accomplished the franchise mark without guard Devin Booker, who missed the game because of a hamstring injury. With Booker out, Phoenix used a balanced effort to pull off the victory with seven players scoring in double figures, led by Cameron Payne and Cameron Johnson who each had 19 points off bench.
