Pistons Beat Suns 133-125, Ivey Shines

Jaden Ivey made a strong return to the Detroit Pistons after missing two games due to knee inflammation, contributing significantly to the team's 133-125 victory over the Phoenix Suns with 20 points, eight assists, and eight rebounds. The Pistons, now 12-17, showcased a strong offensive performance, particularly in the first quarter where they scored 41 points. Cade Cunningham led the team with 28 points and 13 assists, while Malik Beasley hit a crucial three-pointer late in the game to secure the win. Despite a stellar performance from Suns' Kevin Durant, who scored 43 points, the Pistons capitalized on Phoenix's turnovers, scoring 33 points off 19 mistakes. Ivey's presence reinvigorated the Pistons and improved their pace and defensive production compared to previous games. His return was particularly celebrated after a disappointing loss to the Utah Jazz earlier in the week.
