FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Tuesday night’s 98-96 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center
SLAM DUNK – If the Pistons make the playoffs, their loss at Brooklyn will be a forgotten blip. If they miss them, though – and their buzzer loss at Brooklyn increased their risk of just that – this one will be high on the list, perhaps atop it, for outcomes to rue. After Tobias Harris’ short put-back jumper tied the game with 2.4 seconds to play, Brook Lopez won it for the Nets on a 16-foot shot off of one foot to finish with 29 points.
