After Action Report
The Nets blew the doors off the Pistons 122-98. Nets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
