After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Pistons 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
