After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Hornets 115-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
