After Action Report
In Detroit, the Hornets buried the Pistons 122-88. Hornets torched the Pistons on the offensive end. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
