After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Pistons blew the doors off the Hornets 109-84. Pistons torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
