After Action Report
The Pistons edged the Nets 109-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Nets locker-room rift aren't helping. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Nets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
