Malik Beasley led the Detroit Pistons with 23 points in their 113-98 victory over the Brooklyn Nets, marking their fifth consecutive win. Cade Cunningham contributed 13 points along with five assists and five rebounds. The Pistons' bench dominated, outscoring the Nets' reserves 50-20, with standout performances from Simone Fontecchio, who scored 17 points, and Marcus Sasser with 15 points. This victory improves Detroit's record to 19-18, showcasing their recent form of winning eight of their last nine games.

Noah Clowney shone for Brooklyn with a game-high 29 points, while Tyrese Martin recorded a double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds. However, the Nets suffered their third consecutive loss and have yet to win at Barclays Center in seven games. The absence of six rotation players, including key scorers Cam Johnson, Cam Thomas, and D’Angelo Russell, severely hampered Brooklyn's performance, leading to a shooting percentage of just 38.4% from the field.
