After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons blew the doors off the Hornets 124-99. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
