After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Hornets 120-88. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets are in a full-on tailspin. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it

- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
