After Action Report

In New Orleans, the Hornets survived the Pistons 103-102. Every possession went the Hornets way. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
