The Hornets pulled away from the Pistons 100-85. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
