After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Pistons 106-102. The Nets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Nets; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
