NEW YORK _ Steal. Dunk. Steal. Dunk. Steal. Dunk.
It happened again and again and again. Rodions Kurucs, the youngest starter on the floor Monday night at Barclays center, had a dominating first half when his team needed it most, helping the Nets roll to a 103-75 win over the red-hot Detroit Pistons.
The win moves the Nets into sixth place in the Eastern Conference, giving them a half-game lead over Pistons. It also gives the Nets the tiebreaker since this is the last time the two teams play each other and they split their first two meetings in the opening weeks of the season.
