After Action Report
The Nets shocked the Pistons 115-101. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
