Jarrett Allen's Double-Double Extends Nets' Dominance

Nets Defeat Pistons 102-83 in Detroit

Allen's 20 Points, 21 Rebounds Power Brooklyn's Victory

The Brooklyn Nets continued their impressive run on Wednesday night, extending their winning streak to five games with a 102-83 victory over the Detroit Pistons. The Nets were led by Jarrett Allen, who had a monster double-double with 20 points and 21 rebounds.

Allen was dominant on both ends of the floor, shooting 8-of-13 from the field and grabbing 12 of his rebounds on the offensive end. He also had three blocks and two steals. The Pistons had no answer for Allen in the paint, as he was able to use his size and strength to get whatever he wanted.

The Nets also got a strong performance from Kyrie Irving, who had 24 points and 8 assists. Irving was efficient from the field, shooting 9-of-14, and he also had five rebounds and two steals. Caris LeVert added 17 points for the Nets, while Joe Harris chipped in with 15.

The Pistons were led by Jeremi Grant, who had 19 points and 8 rebounds. However, Grant was the only Piston to score in double figures, as the rest of the team struggled to find their shot. The Pistons shot just 38.5% from the field, including a dismal 23.5% from three-point range.

The Nets' defense was also impressive, as they held the Pistons to just 83 points. The Nets forced the Pistons into 17 turnovers, and they also had 7 blocks and 6 steals. The Nets' defense has been a key factor in their recent success, as they have allowed 95 points or less in three of their last five games.

The Nets' win over the Pistons improves their record to 19-14 on the season. They are now in sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and they are just 1.5 games behind the fifth-place Orlando Magic. The Nets will look to continue their winning streak on Friday night when they host the Chicago Bulls.
