The Nets' full reset became complete when they traded Mikal Bridges for draft picks. The timing made sense before a hyped 2025 draft class. Winning the lottery would obviously justify their moves and strategy. They'll have the sixth-best odds at 9.0 percent to add Cooper Flagg, who'd receive top-option reps for a rebuilding roster.

Detroit had a chance to possibly extend Game 6 and the series when Cade Cunningham passed to an open Malik Beasley for what would've been a game-tying 3-point attempt. Unfortunately, Pistons fans will be left wondering "what if?" after the pass went through Beasley's hands and out of bounds.
