What went down
The Suns are about to get stronger after acquiring Kevin Durant at the trade deadline. They were shorthanded against the Pacers but still managed to secure a 117-104 win.
All five Phoenix starters finished in double figures, led by Chris Paul who tallied 19 points and nine dimes. Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton combined for 33 points.
The Suns were in cruise control for the most part of the game, never letting their lead down to single digits in the second half. They even pushed their margin to as huge as 26 points to grab their 10th win in the last 13 games.
Big-time baller
The Pistons scored a double overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs behind an impressive performance from Jalen Duren.
The Pistons rookie had a huge double-double of 30 points and 17 boards to join Moses Malone, LeBron James, and Paolo Banchero as the only teenagers to have 30 points and 15 rebounds in an NBA game.
