After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Nets fended off the Pistons 126-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nets cashed in. The Nets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
