After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Pistons survived the Nets 122-117. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
