After Action Report

The Nets blew the doors off the Pistons 135-102. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.

  • 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.
