After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Pistons 104-80. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
