After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets edged the Pistons 104-95. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nets couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
