>>caption: REGGIE JACKSON (#1, L) WAS BACK IN ACTION<< @ PHOENIX, AZ: The Pistons picked on an NBA Western Conference weak sister for a second straight night to earn back-to-back road wins for the first time since December in a 115-88 decision at Phoenix late Tuesday night. Sidelined since DEC 26TH with an ankle injury, PG Reggie Jackson returned to the Detroit lineup with impressive results in limited minutes. Jackson had 7-P & 2-A in 15-mins. Detroit went ahead to stay 25-23 on Jackson's 25-foot jumper 1:32 into the 2nd-QTR. The Pistons held a 44-38 halftime lead before turning the contest into a second half blowout. Detroit was ahead by 23 in the 3rd-QTR and took the first of two 28-P/4th-QTR leads when Blake Griffin hit a step-back 3-pointer to beat the shot clock, then dished off to underneath uncovered Luke Kennard for a 105-77 score with 3:33 remaining. With reserves on the floor, Henry Ellenson's bucket with 2-mins left made for a 30-P spread at 109-79. Griffin just missed a triple-double with game-highs of 26-P & 10-A plus 9-RB. Kennard scored 16-P, Ish Smith 13, Reggie Bullock 12 and Andre Drummond & James Ennis III 10-P each. Drummond also grabbed 10-RB and posted a game-best five blocked shots. The Suns Alex Len scored 19-P and pulled down a game-high 12-RB. Troy Daniels added 15-P, Josh Jackson 15-P and reserve Marquese Chriss 10-P. The Pistons became 2-3 on their 6-game western road swing. Detroit (32-39) inched within five and a half games of idle Milwaukee for the last NBA Eastern Conference playoff spot. Detroit has 11 games remaining and the Bucks have 12. Already eliminated from playoff consideration, Phoenix lost its ninth in a row and is dead last in the NBA at 19-53. >> GET Notes, Quotes & More by clicking the "LINKS" tab at the top of this page to access the DETROIT PISTONS website. ###Gds.com### [ Return to Home ]
