After Action Report
The Hornets fended off the Pistons 107-98. Hornets' stops on the defensive end set the tone. The Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
