After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nets demolished the Pistons 143-106. The breakneck pace played right into Nets' hands. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
