After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Pistons 138-135 in overtime. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
