After Action Report
The Nets rolled past the Pistons 109-86. Ugly basketball, but the Nets did just enough. The Nets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
