First Quarter

The opening quarter set the tone for what would be a difficult evening for the Nets. Despite an early lead of 5 points, they quickly fell behind as Detroit's fast breaks proved too much to handle. The Pistons scored 33 points in this period compared to Brooklyn's 24, showcasing their offensive prowess and defensive solidity.
