After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Nets 95-88. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
