After Action Report

The Nets survived the Pistons 120-118. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
