The Brooklyn Nets must’ve realized they weren’t going to beat the blazing-hot Detroit Pistons because they decided to sit 10 PLAYERS as they’re now doing their best to Capture the Flagg. Last year, good teams used to rest their players against Detroit because they still were going to win - now, bad teams are resting their players because they know they weren’t going to beat the Pistons anyway!
I kid, I kid - but look at Brooklyn’s inactive list. I’ve never seen any NBA team essentially missing an entire rotation.
Malik Beasley got the start again for Detroit as Ausar Thompson was still out with an illness.
