After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Hornets 103-99. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell. 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
