After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Nets 99-98. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
