The Brooklyn Nets, who entered the night with the NBA’s lowest-rated defense, suffered another heavy setback on Friday, November 7, 2025, falling to the Detroit Pistons. The latest loss further underlined Brooklyn’s season-long struggles to contain opposing offenses.
Detroit exploited gaps throughout the game, extending its lead early and never relinquishing control. Brooklyn’s inability to generate consistent stops allowed the Pistons to dictate tempo and pile up points, dealing the Nets one of their most lopsided defeats of the season.
The result keeps the Nets anchored at the bottom of the league’s defensive rankings and adds pressure on the coaching staff to find solutions as the schedule intensifies.
