The Brooklyn Nets are surely having a tough time while their marquee player Kevin Durant is side-lined. Jerami Grant equaled his career-best 32 points yet again, as the Detroit Pistons get past Brooklyn Nets. The Nets have lost their 3rd straight game, while Jerami Grant is averaging career best more than 24 points per game.

Detroit snapped a four-game losing streak and showed the same type of spirit that was on display in its previous game, a double-overtime loss in Los Angeles against the defending champion LA Lakers. Talking about the Brooklyn Nets in this particular game Kyrie Irving dropped 27, while James Harden added24. It surely wasn’t enough after the Nets poor start.

“We look very average, and we have the talent that the eye test presents, that we should be dominating,” Nets’ Kyrie Irving said as per ESPN. “We’re dealing with a lot of the reality that we’re putting this together on the fly.” 

Brooklyn rallied to within two in the third. But a 3-pointer by Jerami Grant gave the Pistons a 94-86 advantage at the end of that quarter, and Detroit was able to hold on. Detroit Pistons rookie Saddiq Bey scored all of his 15 points in the final period, making all six of his attempts from the field.

“This is professional sports. The other team is talented and capable, and we’re short-handed,” Brooklyn Nets Head Coach Steve Nash said. “We’ve got a lot to clean up. Number one thing is just that attitude and that competition level and that connectivity.” 

“I like our foundation. I like the pieces we have,” Pistons coach Dwane Casey said. “We’re not a finished product. We’ve just got to grow and get the pieces together.”
