After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Pistons 103-98 in overtime. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
