After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Pistons 121-117. Nets torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
