After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Nets 111-86. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
