After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons pulled away from the Nets 113-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
