After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets buried the Pistons 110-82. Every possession went the Hornets way. Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
