After Action Report
In New Jersey, the Pistons survived the Nets 103-102. The Nets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Nets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
