After Action Report
In Detroit, the Hornets handled the Pistons 121-108. The Hornets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
