PHOENIX _ Yes, the Detroit Pistons had some fun.
The Pistons (32-39) opened the second half on a 25-10 run on the way to a 115-88 thumping of the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night, the team's second-straight victory.
There were smiles all around with the return of point guard Reggie Jackson to the starting lineup after missing 37 games with a Grade 3 ankle sprain.
But again it was Blake Griffin carrying the load by nearly collecting his first triple-double.
Griffin scored 26 points on 9-for-15 shooting and added 10 assists and nine rebounds at Walking Stick Resort Arena.
Jackson scored seven points and added two assists in 15 minutes.
There was a momentary scare in the fourth quarter when Jackson went down trying to take a charge.
But when he clutched his midsection, there was relief that the issue wasn't his ankle.
