After Action Report

The Pistons edged the Nets 93-84. Pistons torched the Nets on the offensive end. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
