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.
