The Brooklyn Nets (4 - 13) defeated the Detroit Pistons (8 - 9) 87 - 83 on Sunday. The free throw line proved to be vital for the Brooklyn Nets, after it was the deciding factor in their fourth win of the season. Brook Lopez broke a 83 - 83 tie with 0:29 left in the fourth quarter at the charity stripe, while the Pistons were unable to convert points on the following possessions to close out the game. Lopez finished with 15 points and nine rebounds on 6 - for - 18 shooting. Thaddeus Young was the difference maker for the Nets, adding 19 points, 10 rebounds and three assists on a lights out 9 - for - 12 shooting in 31 minutes played. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who has flown under the radar in his rookie season, did not impress in his outing and finished with two points and four rebounds. He failed to hit any shot, but is currently second in real plus - minus amongst rookies, trailing only the Knicks’ Kristaps Porzingis. Andre Drummond contributed his league leading 15th double - double after scoring 20 points, 18 rebounds and three steals on 9 - for - 19 shooting. Offensively he has become one of the best big men in 2015 - 2016, but his defensive flaws opened the door for Brook Lopez to score key points down the stretch. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope led all scorers with 21 points, to go along with seven rebounds and one assist. Reggie Jackson struggled from the floor, scoring eight points on 4 - for - 20 shooting, in addition to nine assists and six rebounds. The Pistons host the Houston Rockets (6 - 10) on Monday, while the Nets host the Phoenix Suns (7 - 9) on Tuesday.
