After Action Report

The Hornets downed the Pistons 122-111. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
