After Action Report
In Detroit, the Nets survived the Pistons 94-91. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Nets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
