The gap of 50 points has been crossed…

When the two teams come out of the locker room, the Pistons are rolling. Losing the ball Nolan Traore (5 points, 2/7 shooting) leads to an easy basket by Cade Cunningham. It is in process Danny Wolf who loses the ball. On the other side of the field, Jalen Duren (21 points, 10 rebounds) concludes the layup by Tobias Harris to give Detroit a 31-point lead (75-44).

On the Brooklyn side, we had to wait five minutes and Nolan Traore’s game-winning basket to see the visitors score their first points. At the end of this third quarter, the home team leads 100 to 62. The Pistons first increase the deficit in the last act thanks to a basket Ron Holland which allows them to reach a 40 point difference. Then it is Paul Reed giving the Pistons a 50 point lead. Detroit ended up winning 130 to 77 for the biggest win in its history.

WHAT TO REMEMBER

A day of celebration in Detroit. In addition to this great success against the Nets, the Pistons were celebrating Jalen Duren’s first All-Star selection and the pivot enjoyed himself against Brooklyn, especially in the third quarter. The interior quickly scored ten points, but he also dished out two assists to Cade Cunningham, including a quarterback-worthy one. Defensively, the new All-Star piles up the steals to sink the Nets. After that, Detroit went on a 13-0 run to start the second half and definitively extinguished Brooklyn’s faint hopes of victory.

The Nets attack without any solution. Against the Jazz, the Nets were able to win despite the absence of Michael Porter Jr., but against Detroit, Brooklyn’s entire offense stalled. If the beginning of the match was interesting thanks Nic Clactonauthor of ten points in the first act, Jordi Fernandez’s men quickly took water. Facing the second best defense in the League, Brooklyn continued to turn the ball over and finished with 23 turnovers on the clock.

A historic match. With a 53-point lead, Detroit signs the biggest victory in its history, but this setback is also historic for the Nets. This is Brooklyn’s third biggest loss. A toss that takes place barely ten days after the acknowledgment of the deviation for 54 points against the Knickswhich he did then second largest loss in Nets history.
