PHOENIX - Bob Lanier, hit-
ting for 26 points and playing a
big role in holding Phoenix to
an all-time quarter low of 10
points in the third period, paced
the Detroit Pistons to a 91-79
National Basketball Association
victory over the Suns last night.
During the third quarter
Phoenix managed only five of
19 from the floor. Meanwhile,
Laner went on a 12-point
scoring binge in the third
quarter to break the game
open.
The victory raises Detroit's
season record to .500, at 39-39.j
The Pistons have won four in a
row.
The Suns, led by Charlie Scott
and Mike Banton with 10 points
each, shot 54.5 per cent in the
first quarter to grab a 26-22
lead. Detroit was cold and shot
only 39 per cent from the floor.
Phoenix continued to lead
47-44 at halftime with Scott
topping all scorers with 13
noints. Detroit had balanced
first-half scoring with Curtis
Rowe and Lanier with 10
points each and George Trano
and Dave Bing with eight
each.
Lanier's shooting and Detroit's
almost comolete domination of
the boards led to a 20-point Pis-
to" lead at one noint in the
third qivnrter, and that was it.
