The Pistons have been playing better as of late, but they still have had trouble closing out games, especially on the road, and it happened again last night at Phoenix, where the Suns rallied for a 109-to-101 victory over Detroit. Rodney Stuckey dropped in 23 points in a losing effort for the Pistons. Steve Nash only took two shots for the Suns, but dished out 17 assists.

The Pistons, who slipped to 16-and-28, play the Clippers tomorrow afternoon in Los Angeles.
