In a sloppy game, the Detroit Pistons held the Nets to just 35% shooting and came an Aaron Williams tip in with 1 second left from extending their under-70 streak to 6 games. Trailing by 19 at the half, the Nets closed to within 7 with 5:44 left in the game, but the Pistons then went on a 18-2 run to put them away. Chauncey Billups led all scorers with 20 points on 7 for 12 shooting.
