After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Hornets 133-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
