DETROIT(AP) \u2014 Duncan Robinson scored 19 points, Jalen Duren had 16 points and 18 rebounds and the Detroit Pistons rallied to beat the Phoenix Suns 108-105 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
The Eastern Conference-leading Pistons trailed by 16 points in the first half and were behind after each of the first three quarters. Tobias Harris made a go-ahead jumper over Dillon Brooks midway through the fourth quarter and they held on for their fourth win in five games.<\/p>\n
Detroit won despite Cade Cunningham shooting very poorly and the team struggling at the line, including Robinson splitting a pair of free throws that gave Grayson Allen a chance to shoot a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.<\/p>\n
Cunningham missed 13 of 16 shots, was 0 of 7 on 3-pointers and 4 of 9 at the line, finishing with 10 points and 11 assists.<\/p>\n
Allen scored 21 of his 33 points in the first half, leading the Suns with star Devin Booker sidelined by an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
Allen scored 10 points in the first 12 minutes and became the first player in franchise history to make three 3-pointers and block three shots in a quarter, helping the Suns take a nine-point lead. He scored 11 more points in the second quarter, making a pair of 3-pointers late in the half to put Phoenix up by 10 before it led 63-56 at halftime.<\/p>\n
The Pistons pulled within one after three quarters.<\/p>\n
Collin Gillespie scored 18 points, Brooks had 16 points before fouling out with 2:13 left, Royce O\u2019Neale scored 11 points and Oso Ighodaro added 10 points for the Suns, who have lost two straight.<\/p>\n
