Phoenix Suns vs Detroit Pistons Full Highlights 1st QTR | Feb 14 | 2024 NBA Regular Season

They’ve been playing better ball over the last month I mean they they went toe to- Toe with the Clippers they routed Oklahoma City put up 130 points against Sacramento last wondering about whatever plans you may have so against a young team that’s hungry for any kind of a

Quality win you you’ve got to stay focused for the full 48 and we’ve talked all season long you cannot Overlook any team no matter what their record is I trying to over the nerk screen dur rants there they either have a shot at The Rim or they’re kicking into a

Shooter for a shot there or another one yeah Pistons averaging nearly 53 points per game in the paint KD for the offensive foul I think this is a game that we need to seize the opportunity of like lowering our turnovers they’re not forcing any type of pressure on defense it’s un airs it’s

Our ourself forcing it over and so we just really need to clean that up before Allstar we can’t overlook this game this is a great opportunity to start clean it up but Detroit is last in steals Booker scooping it up and makes a run to the

Rim that was the first turnover of the night for Detroit yeah and to your point so that’s been the one area that has you know prevented the Suns from winning a handful of games over the last two or three weeks and this is a team because of their

Youth and because they’re not it’s it’s part of your job to kind of look up these are professional athletes and it’s Devon Booker and and now you don’t have Beal you don’t have Booker it hurts the game of basketball well it looked like Booker was not being you know out of

Line and he was talk pointing to his players or whatever whatever was said but you know I the officials I as you said they’ve got a tough job there are a lot of new officials also uh one official that has retired dick vetta always had great patience with players

He would talk to them and kind of settle them down and uh I think I don’t know if that’s allowed anymore for officials to say hey cool it kind of thing well it’s one thing if you you know we’re talking about being late in the second players in the

League and a lot of people you know said load management when your best players can’t being on the road and they they sit down so you know two things one the summer league has 10 fouls in summer and then chick Hearn who used to broadcast for the Lakers always talked

About this is the only game where a player is disqualified because of the rule and there’s no reason why whether you have a hockey thing where you sit out a certain amount of minutes and you have you after you get your sixth foul something happens or

Whatever but to foul a guy out as you said earlier it changes certainly the coaching situation and substitution pattern when you pick up early fouls too now I suppose the irony is that Bradley Beal and Deon hooker did not play in the first meeting this season between these

Two clubs Kevin Durant went for 41 Nerf there for another steel Allen accelerating gets inside for the lay I love how we’re getting out in transition though it’s all starting on the defensive end we’re getting touches we’re getting um you know our hands on the ball 74% free throw shooter Suns by

Five Allen on the attack by the slashing cre Eubanks who brings a little early boom 9-1 Phoenix run Detroit’s so concerned about Kevin Durant and off that pick and roll and great cut by Eubank cor finds the rookie Thompson from the [Applause] Corner deep three coming from [Applause] EG JB Banks tried to save it but it tapped back into the hands of Cunningham Jake Milton part of the trade day activity steps up and knocks down the triple comes over from Minnesota along with Roy Brown Jr from Monty

Morris Thompson had his hand but I mean with with book being out with field being out this is a time for KD to step up and Lead these younger guys and a great opportunity to keep our heads and not get these officials in our heads Cunningham season opening drops it off

To dur a player of the year four time olympium I remember and ADV of the depth is going to be tested here this evening seventh turnover for the Suns two-point Phoenix lead veteran forier coming over from New York can’t get that floer but it’s tapped up and in

By Thompson you’ve got to get a body on that young man th averaging not quite seven rebounds per game now the pistol is number nine in offensive rebounding back door cut by O’Neal finds a Ki with a corner look J hit his only three-point attempt last night at Seven

Points now both teams played last night Detroit against the Lakers good defense Lee with the steel racing up to the basket kings in the penalty relatively early in the fourth Quarter Lee connects on both free throws Sasser good young talent for the Pistons tied up there for8 can’t get him but another great box out by Josh e kogi and what a pivotal moment he had late in that game last night Brown jior is trying to stay

Attached to KD gets into the paint with a pullup it’s good defense just better offense that’s usually the case when you’re talking about Kevin Durance oh nice Eubanks really making a difference on the defensive end up ahead to Sabin you don’t have to tell that guy

To attack too strong with that one but Drew inside to clean it up the Pistons really don’t have sizewise match up with especially with Kevin Durant out there Sasser with the rock had 22 points in that early season meeting Durant there grabs it off the rebound to the

Cut Lee with a reverse beautiful yeah good Patience by O’neal He Saw Le from all the on the other side of the Court cutting to the basket 80 Phoenix run s with the Jerry West Award winner last season the Houston all four years Milton nearly had it stolen from Lee junor with the

Floater sixth year fifth team in six seasons for Troy Brown Jr lead nice dribble hesitation Eubanks trapped there on the Baseline I like the pace and energy that Lee’s bringing from the bench well that’s the one thing maybe to the team in red Suns with their biggest lead just under a minute to

Go final game before the All-Star break for Phoenix Sasser working off the screen but it was a moving screen I love the defense by Eubanks he just dropped off wisman and let him do what he wanted to and when wisman tried to go inside he had a moving screen fifth turnover for

Detroit Suns with seven [Applause] on the ball Eubanks with that dribble handoff sets up Jo from the wing good activity O’Neal fighting for it but tap back into the hands of Milton but there’s the activity of Sab Lee when you think about the three guys on the floor out here with Kevin durans and

Eubanks between Lee J and Royce O’Neal nightmare nightmare they are everywhere they’re dogs on defense constant activity shot clock game clock night quite fully in sing KD raising up from three-point line on the rebound put back J draws and you know early in the season Jordan gwin and Josh Andi were kind of

The same player and we’re going back and forth and who’s going to get more minutes and Jo stuck now
