After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Nets 111-109. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
