After Action Report
The Hornets took care of the Pistons 122-106. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
