After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Nets 119-88. Pistons controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
