Suns put the boots to Detroit


The Suns had their most impressive victory of the young season on Sunday, beating the Detroit Pistons 104-86 in downtown Phoenix. The Suns played their most complete game of the season as well, outplaying Detroit on offense and defense. Even the bench got in on the action, with players like Boris Diaw, Louis Amundson and even Sean Singletary (no, not the 49er's head coach) getting in on the action. I'm not sure what it was that propelled the Suns to such a great game; maybe it was Terry Porter's desire to beat the team that scorned him in the off-season, maybe it was Grant Hill's desire to beat his former team for the first time, or maybe it was just Shaq's (pictured above right before he ate Ken Mauer) desire to beat the crap out of Kwame Brown and Rasheed Wallace (which he did until he was ejected for nearly decapitating Rodney Stuckey). Let's hope the Suns can keep up the stellar play as they enter a very difficult week in which they face Utah, the Lakers and Portland.
