After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets snuck past the Pistons 118-116. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
