After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Pistons 125-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
