After Action Report
In Detroit, the Hornets snuck past the Pistons 104-103. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
