After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Pistons 112-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
