After Action Report
The Hornets snuck past the Pistons 96-93. The Hornets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Pistons. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
