After Action Report
The Pistons outlasted the Nets 96-86. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Nets lately. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.
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.
