Detroit snap 13 game losing streak by beating the Suns 105-103: Andre Drummond has a double-double

The Detroit Pistons came into this the US Airways Center in Phoenix Arizona with a 13 game losing streak. I look at this team on paper and I really like it, but the team chemistry just doesn't appear to be there like a person with his or her head in the clouds, lost into outer space. I think the Pistons finally woke up last night from this bad nightmare of a losing streak going on. The Detroit Pistons defeated the Phoenix Suns 105-103. Andre Drummond who to me is the Pistons best player, lead the way with a double-double by scoring 23 points and pulling down 14 rebounds. Two guard Kenatvious Caldwell- Pope added 14 points. Here are the statistics for both teams.

So what are your thoughts about this win? There is a part of me that says stink up the joint and go for Jahii Okafor, Karl Anthony Towns, Emmunel Mudiay, and another part of me that says fight back and start finding a way to pile up some wins. Now looking back the signing of Josh Smith and Brandon Jennings was a mistake to this franchise, but sometimes you have to take chances and just go for it.
