Given another chance, Austin Daye gave Detroit the lead for good.

Daye made the go-ahead jump shot with 53 seconds left and the Pistons rallied for a 75-74 victory that snapped the Phoenix Suns’ five-game winning streak.

Tayshaun Prince led Detroit with 17 points, 13 rebounds and five assists. Will Bynum added 12 points, and Daye and Rodney Stuckey each had 11.

Nash had 14 points and nine assists but turned the ball over five times. Jared Dudley added 13 points for Phoenix. Marcin Gortat had 11 points and 14 rebounds. It was the first time in franchise history the Suns lost when giving up fewer than 80 points. They had been 62-0 in such games.

Phoenix coach Alvin Gentry watched his team make 14 turnovers.

Mickael Pietrus’ 3-pointer gave the Suns a 66-51 lead with 9:07 left in the fourth quarter before the Pistons charged back with an 11-2 run that cut it to 68-62 on Bynum’s layup with 4:55 left after he stole the ball from Nash in the lane at the other end.


Daye’s 3-pointer pulled Detroit within 70-67 with 2:40 left before Bynum’s jumper a minute later made it a one-point game.
