After Action Report

In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Pistons 119-115. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
