After the Pistons’ late game collapse in Portland, the Nets are, per WFAN’s Steve Lichtenstein, .000376 out of the sixth seed, meaning the two teams are in a virtual tie. The Nets are 38-36, the Pistons 37-35. And Detroit plays Golden State Sunday in Oakland while the Nets have one more day off until they play the Trail Blazers in Portland. A Pistons loss and the Nets would be in sole possession of sixth ... on March 25. Extraordinary.
What’s also extraordinary is that so few of the Nets key players have experienced anything like this before.
