After Action Report
The Nets took care of the Pistons 111-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
