    Josh Smith was annoyed with himself earlier in the week, when his jumper with the game on the line missed badly and Detroit went on to lose to the New York Knicks.

    So when Smith had the ball in the final seconds again Saturday night, he went straight to the basket.

    "I wanted to be aggressive," Smith said. "When I caught it, I didn't want to settle."

    Smith's driving, left-handed bank shot with 1.2 seconds left gave the Pistons a 110-108 win over the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. Smith finished with 25 points and 11 rebounds, and Brandon Jennings had 18 assists, the most in the NBA this season, to go with eight points and eight rebounds.
