The Pistons vs. Suns game on Wednesday witnessed a domino effect in action. One misstep led to another, resulting in a series of mishaps, creating a chaotic yet humorous moment.
Despite the Detroit Pistons being initially given an advantage in the matchup, they still managed to fumble the opportunity, leading to a loss in the match. This defeat added to their already negative record for the season, leaving the fans disappointed as they headed home.
The Domino Effect: How one mistake leads to another
The Detroit Pistons were matched against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday where a single mistake gave birth to a series of mistakes. Chaos unfolded in the fourth quarter of the game as Detroit inbounded the ball from the sideline in the backcourt. Shake Milton attempted to inbound the ball to Ausar Thompson.
Unfortunately, after some contact with the Suns’ Udoka Azubuike, Thompson lost his balance and fell to the ground. Azubuike, seeing the opportunity, tried to retrieve the loose ball, but it slipped out of his hands. The Suns’ Nassir Little made two attempts to secure the loose ball but was unsuccessful, causing it to advance into the frontcourt.
In response to Little’s actions, Théo Maledon made a daredevil effort to keep the ball in play. But unfortunately, his save pushed the ball across the court and it ended up in the hands of Milton, from where the chaos began.
The domino effect stopped there and Milton threw the ball into Detroit’s frontcourt. His teammates Mike Muscala and Malachi Flynn were waiting for the pass in the frontcourt. Muscala received the ball and quickly went up for a layup or dunk. However, Little hustled back and fouled Muscala, preventing an easy basket.
Noteworthy moments in mop-up time
The Pistons vs Suns match started in the favor of the Pistons. Suns’ star Devin Booker, who recently called out Grant Williams, was ejected from the match as he quickly received two technical fouls. Suns were also without Bradley Beal whose Olympic dream was crushed recently, sidelined with a hamstring injury.
However, this was not enough for the Pistons to win as Kevin Durant with the rest of the Suns squad carried his team on the path of victory. In the fourth quarter, when the domino effect induced chaos on the court the Suns were already up with 111 points while the Pistons were on 87.
The Detroit side tried to fight back and gain an advantage in the matchup but was unable to establish a lead. The Suns won with a final score of 116-100. This Pistons vs Suns match will be remembered for the bloopers it featured and would make a lot of people laugh this weekend.
