After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Hornets 122-91. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
