The Detroit Pistons defeated the Phoenix Suns 109-107 in their preseason opener at Little Caesars Arena on October 5, 2026. After falling behind by 19 points in the first half, Detroit’s bench unit dominated the second half, with rookie Ebuka Okorie scoring the game-winning layup with 5.8 seconds remaining.

Bickerstaff emphasized that the game was about establishing team identity rather than the final score, noting that the Pistons struggled to meet their standards in the first 24 minutes despite the eventual victory.
