The Nets ran roughshod over the Pistons 120-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
