PHOENIX -- One team coming off an embarrassing loss and one team coming off a heartbreaking defeat meet up when the Detroit Pistons visit the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. John Jaso Jersey .The Pistons (4-3) opened a four-game road trip Monday with a 114-82 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, extending their losing streak at Staples Center -- where the Clippers and Lakers play -- to 11 games. The last time Detroit won a game in that building was Nov. 12, 2010, when they beat the Clippers.The Suns (2-6) rallied from as many as 18 points down Tuesday but were unable to get over the hump in a 124-121 loss at the Portland Trail Blazers. The guard tandem of Eric Bledsoe (31 points) and Devin Booker (23) combined for 54 points, but the Suns couldnt overcome a 71-point backcourt effort from Portlands Damian Lillard (38 points) and CJ McCollum (33).Detroit hasnt won on the road this season and didnt come close to changing that Monday, shooting just 36 percent from the field and falling behind by 30 points at the half.For me, this is a game I will always keep in my mind until at least we fix it, Detroit swingman Stanley Johnson told the Detroit Free Press. This is straight-out embarrassing.The Pistons gave up 62 first-half points and didnt reach 50 themselves until late in the third quarter.We didnt have any patience to move the ball, Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy told the Free Press. We didnt execute, we didnt screen. Youre not going to get stuff easy against that defense. I didnt have our guys ready to play against that offense. I think that was pretty obvious.The Suns obviously were disappointed with the end result at Portland, but they were played with their comeback.We never give up, Booker said. Its a good team over there. Every time we play (the Blazers), its going to be a war. They got the edge tonight, but next time were going to be ready.The Phoenix rally was spurred by forwards P.J. Tucker (11 points, nine rebounds and five steals) and rookie Dragan Bender (10 points, a plus-19 in his 23 minutes on the floor). Phoenix they tied the game with an 11-0 run with eight minutes to play. The Suns were within a point twice in the final 20 seconds before falling short.The Suns went 1-2 on a three-game road trip that began with an overtime win against the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday but ended with road losses to the Lakers and Blazers.Booker, 20, had 38 points against the Pelicans and 39 against the Lakers, becoming the youngest player in NBA history to have back-to-back games of at least 38 points.Detroit got some good news on the off-day Monday. Guard Reggie Jackson returned to basketball activities for the first time since receiving platelet-rich plasma injections in his left knee and right thumb just before preseason. His return to the lineup is still up in the air.I got up some shots and got to move around a little bit, Jackson told the Free Press. I did a few cuts, but nothing real major. Adam Frazier Jersey .
