After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Nets 103-98. Every possession went the Pistons way. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
