After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Hornets 123-98. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
