After Action Report
The Nets held off the Pistons 125-117. The tempo dragged the Pistons into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
