The Nets had just enough star power and just enough shooting to get away with inconsistent defense, and get a win over woebegone Detroit.
The Nets’ defense was inconsistent and unimpressive. But they had just enough star power and just enough shooting to get away with it, and get a 130-123 win over woebegone Detroit.
The Nets shot 55.3 percent from the floor, and 15 of 28 from deep. And they needed every iota of that offense despite facing a sorry Pistons team now tied for the worst record in the NBA. Kevin Durant, who scored 41 points, drives on Killian Hayes during the Nets’ 130-123 win over the Pistons.“We have a blueprint, we know we want to be what our identity is,” said Andre Drummond, who had 14 points and 13 rebounds. “Obviously we’re a great offensive team, but if we can hang our hat defensively as well — which we are capable of doing — it’s gonna be tough for teams each and every night.
