After Action Report

The Nets outlasted the Pistons 122-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nets; the Nets couldn't shake the cold spell. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
