Detroit may have finally put an end to questions with a 94-75 win over Phoenix today. The team has had its ups and downs recently, with some off-the-field incidents involving key players ruining the team's focus. Graham was at the center of the controversy, after being arrested for weapon violations just three days ago. His legal problems were sorted out quickly, but the attention drawn to the incident received more news than today's game against Phoenix. Graham let his play do the talking today, helping his team put the unfortunate incident behind him with a solid game. "Definitely nice to be asked about a game MVP performance than about an arrest," he said later on.

Detroit was led by Graham (18 points, 6 blocks), Kay (18 points, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks), Henderson (11 points, 17 boards, 2 assists). Phoenix was led by King (14 points, 5 boards, 0 assists, 2 blocks), Celaya (16 points, 3 assists, a steal), Fripp (15 points).

After today's victory, Detroit are now 26-6 and 15-3 at home. They stay at #1 in the Central and remain at #1 overall in the Eastern Conference. With today's defeat, Phoenix stand at 16-16. They remain at #3 in the Pacific and stay at #8 overall in the Western Conference.
