After Action Report

The Pistons ran roughshod over the Nets 124-103. The Nets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
