Notes: This will be the first Chicago-Nets series that isn't a sweep.
And now we have a period where, because of the choice to let the sequester take effect, we are not now in a countdown clock situation -- the cable nets don't have the clock.
The Nets (29-22) haven't scored 100 points since their Jan. 26 loss to the Houston Rockets.
MarShon Brooks made his first 10 shots and finished with a career-high 27 points for the Nets, who haven't played at home since March 17 because the circus is at Barclays Center.
But while ad-supported cable continues to soar, the broadcast nets haven't fared so well.
The Lakers light their court in the same fashion, but they're the Lakers, in showbiz L.A. (For what it's worth: Barclays is much lower-lit than Madison Square Garden.) The Nets don't have to try so hard to be cool.
What the Nets are trying to forget is the 14-point lead they couldn't hold late in regulation on Saturday.
Bot-nets, scripts and other automated tools play key roles, but they don't exist in a vacuum.
And that could continue if she doesn't follow through as a consistent top 10 driver who nets an occasional first-place finish in major races.
They want home-court advantage in the playoffs and perhaps sent a message to the Nets: Don't worry too much about catching that team ahead of you.
The Nets didn't take long to give the Pistons a reason to quit, taking a 36-23 lead after the first quarter, thanks to 14 points and three assists by Williams.
Williams made four 3-pointers, added eight assists and didn't play the final 15 minutes as interim Nets coach P.
I'm proud to report that I'm one of them, a T-shirt landing in the seat directly in front of me at the Knicks-Nets game.
The Nets entered Wednesday with two more losses than the Knicks (25-14), so they didn't have a chance to catch them mathematically for first place in the division standings.
The Nets had lost two of three, including a 12-point defeat to Atlanta on Sunday, but weren't challenged by Detroit.
The Nets led 31-24 after the first quarter, having made 7 of 8 free throws while the Bucks didn't attempt any.
