After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Pistons 129-112. Nets' offense had its way with the Pistons. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
