Pistons-Suns Preview

(AP) -- While the Phoenix Suns have generally looked strong in their climb to the top of the Western Conference, they've had some lackluster performances in their losses.

The Suns look to bounce back from one of those defeats and avoid losing back-to-back games for the first time this season Sunday when they host the Detroit Pistons, who are trying to snap a four-game skid.

After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2004 last season, Phoenix (10-3) has been one of the most pleasant surprises in the league. With a potent offense led by Steve Nash, the Suns have scored 100 or more points in each of their first 13 games and are tied with Dallas atop the West. (MORE)
