After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Nets 107-85. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
