Blake Griffin narrowly missed a triple-double and the Detroit Pistons celebrated the return of Reggie Jackson by handing the short-handed Phoenix Suns their ninth straight loss, 115-88 on Tuesday night. Griffin led six Detroit players in double figures, finishing with 26 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds before sitting out most of the final quarter. Jackson was back in the Detroit starting lineup after missing 24 games with a severe ankle sprain. He scored seven points on 3-of-7 shooting in 15 minutes. Luke Kennard added 16 points and Ish Smith 13 for the Pistons. Detroit has won the last two after dropping the first three of a six-game road trip that ends Thursday night in Houston. Alex Len led Phoenix with 19 points and 12 rebounds.
