NETS-PISTONS NOTEBOOK
ROOKIE WATCH: For the Nets, MarShon Brooks (broken toe, right foot) did not play, but Jordan Williams (a career-high nine points and eight rebounds) was the opportunistic benefactor of a few lucky bounces and contributed important minutes in the most important game of his career.
NOTABLE: Only three Nets that dressed for the game don't have the word "Jordan" or "Williams" in their name. An exclusive Jordan/Williams lineup did not see court time, although all four Williams men were on the court together midway through the third quarter... Shelden Williams, or "The Landlord" as he's known in Newark, scored the Nets' first two baskets on putbacks.

On his depleted roster: "I told them they were the 'Great Eight' tonight. That's the only way you could look at it. I told them that before the game; I told them after the game. "We normally give a set of nets to the guy who's the quote-unquote 'Player of the Game,' but we cut it up in eight pieces tonight because each one of them deserved it." |
