After Action Report
The Hornets edged the Pistons 108-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
