After Action Report
The Nets outlasted the Pistons 101-88. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
