After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons rolled past the Nets 124-97. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
