Tight defense with hard fouls. That would have been all it would have taken. Also, while I'd have to go back and look, I'd be willing to guess that both Magic and Stockton had 10+ assists in occasional (or perhaps even rare) garbage minutes during their streaks. You don't win that many close games with that many assists in a row. If any of the Pistons didn’t like it, there is an easy solution: play defense. Tight defense with hard fouls.

Playing for stats instead of to up your team's odds of winning is pretty much the definition of selfish play--regardless of which stats you are going for. Don't believe me? Read anything out there on Wilt's 67-68 season. Assists can be just as selfish.

And wow was NJ cocky. Not only did they not apologize, they tried to spin like it was the Pistons fault for having 1 starter still in the game... They sounded like Children. I'm glad Kidd never won a championship and has no shot in NY.  http://articles.nydailynews.com/2004-03-19/sports/18255948_1_nets-pistons-lawrence-frank  Check out this link. And wow was NJ cocky.

Its one thing to intentionally keep your own streak going in loser mode, but NJ took sore loser mode to a new level. I only hope it was before Frank now that I think about it. I think it was.  I remember the NJ Nets called several timeouts to intentionally ruin the Pistons record streak of holding opponents under 70 pts. And the amazing thing is it still took a fortunate call to do it, if I recall correctly.
