After Action Report

The Pistons survived the Hornets 110-106. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
