After Action Report
The Nets snuck past the Pistons 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
