PLAYOFF CAPSULES
EASTERN CONFERENCE
NETS vs. PISTONS
The skinny: This is a battle of wills. On one side, you have the finesse of the Nets, who like their precision fast-break offense led by the dynamic Jason Kidd at point guard. On the other, you have the bruising play of the Pistons, who like it rough. The Nets will need Kenyon Martin to continue his postseason tear; he averaged 23.3 points and 14 rebounds in the first round against the Knicks.
Keep an eye on: The battle between Martin and Ben Wallace, a pivotal matchup.
And the winner is: Detroit in six.
