After Action Report
The Pistons pulled away from the Hornets 109-99. Pistons torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
