After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Nets 131-127 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
