The Nets (11 - 15) handed the Pistons (5 - 23) their fourth straight loss, holding on for a 110 - 105 victory Sunday evening. Brooklyn jumped out to a 10 - point first quarter lead, but the Pistons responded with a run in the second quarter that trimmed the deficit to just two at halftime. The teams traded baskets for most of the third quarter, and the Nets were able to create some distance mid - way through the fourth, as a Mason Plumlee lay - in gave Brooklyn a 12 - point advantage with 4:24 to play. Detroit would battle back, however, with back - to - back baskets from Andre Drummond cutting Brooklyn’s lead to just two points with 40 seconds to play. Trailing 104 - 102 with less than 30 seconds to play, Detroit had a chance to take the lead, but a Jodie Meeks three - pointer rimmed out with 15 seconds remaining. From there, the Nets were able to salt the game away at the line, as Joe Johnson knocked down four straight free throws. The win snapped a three - game skid. Brooklyn, which scorched the nets to the tune of 53 percent shooting, got 21 points and 12 rebounds from Plumlee and 16 points from Johnson. Starting in place of the injured Deron Williams, Jarrett Jack finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds, and Mirza Teletovic chipped in 13 points off the bench. Bojan Bogdanovic added 14 points with three three - pointers. Detroit placed six players in double - figures, led by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s 20 points. Andre Drummond added 18 points and 20 rebounds (13 offensive), and Josh Smith contributed 13 points, six assists and five boards. It was a rough night for Brandon Jennings, who had just eight points on 3 - of - 12 shooting. He did finish with eight assists, however.
