After Action Report

In Detroit, the Nets snuck past the Pistons 104-103. Nets' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
