It’s been something of a theme all season for the Nets but other teams are treating things like playoff games when they play this team and tonight was no different. The Pistons, who have one of the worst records in the league gave Brooklyn everything they had, crushing the Nets on the offensive glass and really making this a game. It took a fantastic performance by Kevin Durant, especially late, to put Detroit away at home and the Nets pulled it out. But it wasn’t easy. The Locked on Nets guys talk about how this was, once again, like a playoff game and how some of the team’s familiar issues cropped up. They also discuss the play of Durant and how he remains a consummate leader. Plus they look at how the remaining games could all have this feel.
