After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets survived the Pistons 101-100. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
