AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Before leaving the court after their most lopsided win in nearly five years, the Detroit Pistons huddled near midcourt for a brief pep talk.

 

It's been another mediocre season so far, but a few more performances like this would turn things around in a hurry.

 

"We got a great win here at home -- let's keep going," guard Brandon Knight said. "Every day, keep building."

 

Knight and Charlie Villanueva scored 19 points apiece, and the Pistons routed the Phoenix Suns 117-77 on Wednesday night. Detroit has won back-to-back games for the first time this season and has gone 5-3 since opening the season with eight straight losses.

 

The Pistons led 55-44 at halftime and then broke the game open when the Suns came unglued in the third quarter. Phoenix picked up four technical fouls in the third and trailed by as many as 44 in the fourth.

 

Detroit shot 12 of 16 from 3-point range.

 

"A lot of good play from a lot of good guys," Pistons coach Lawrence Frank said. "You don't have a lot of games like this, but obviously a lot of bright spots that we've got to keep on building on."

 

Rodney Stuckey added 18 points for Detroit. Kyle Singler and Tayshaun Prince contributed 12 each, and Greg Monroe had nine points and eight rebounds.

 

Afterward, the team stayed on the court in a huddle, already trying to set the tone for the next game on the schedule.

 

"The message was basically: `Continue doing what we're doing. Everybody stay together."'
