Coming off of a disappointing loss at home, the Detroit Pistons have an opportunity to get back on the court and land themselves on the right track against the Phoenix Suns.

Earlier this week, the Pistons bounced back from a blowout loss against the Boston Celtics with an impressive overtime victory over the Miami Heat. Despite the Heat entering the matchup on a hot streak, Detroit cooled them off with a one-point victory for themselves.

Heading into Thursday’s game against the Utah Jazz, the Pistons were favored for a big win. Instead, they got hit way a haymaker in the first quarter of the matchup.

Utah put up 48 points while holding the Pistons to just 19. While the Pistons turned the tables in the second quarter, forcing turnovers and scoring at will, the deficit from the first quarter became too much to overcome as the game progressed.

The Jazz held it down throughout all four quarters and managed to upset the Pistons 126-119. Detroit now heads into a four-game road trip on the other side of the map, beginning with a shorthanded 14-12 Suns team.
