After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Pistons 106-105. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
