US EditionDillon Brooks' 40 points helps Suns topple East-leading Pistons
- Dillon Brooks erupted for a career-high 40 points as the Phoenix Suns beat the Detroit Pistons 114-96 on Thursday, Jan. 29, before a sellout of 17,071 at Mortgage Matchup Center.
- Brooks, in his first season with Phoenix, arrived after an offseason trade that sent Kevin Durant to Houston, while Suns star guard Devin Booker missed his third straight game with a right ankle sprain.
- By halftime and the third quarter, Brooks had shot 13-of-22 and scored 38 points through three quarters, finishing with eight rebounds.
- Phoenix's victory boosts its momentum as the Suns won their fifth in seven games to reach 29-19, 10 games above.500, while the Pistons fell to 34-12, snapping their two-game streak and fueling Brooks' All-Star candidacy.
- Up next for the Suns is a back-to-back starting Jan. 30 against the Cleveland Cavaliers before concluding their homestand Feb. 1 versus the Los Angeles Clippers; the Pistons head to Golden State on Friday.
