Detroit Pistons STUN Suns With 18-Point Comeback! Postgame Podcast
Episode 425
Tuesday, October 6, 2026 • Duration 22:59
The Detroit Pistons opened the preseason with a wild 109-107 comeback win over the Phoenix Suns. Detroit struggled badly in the first half with rebounding, second-chance points, foul trouble and transition defense, falling behind by 18 at halftime.
Everything changed after the break. The Pistons came out with much more energy, forced turnovers, picked up the defensive pressure and put together a huge 22-3 run to erase the deficit. Daniss Jenkins provided a spark, Javonte Green was everywhere defensively, Ron Holland made key plays late, and Taurean Prince brought toughness off the bench.
The night ended with rookie Ebuka Okorie delivering the biggest moment, knocking down the game-winner to give Detroit the 109-107 victory. Anthony breaks down the comeback, the good and bad from the preseason opener, and reacts to comments from Pistons fans watching live. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
