After Action Report
The Pistons survived the Hornets 117-115 in overtime. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
