After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Pistons 131-118. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
