After Action Report

The Hornets survived the Pistons 104-103. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets sent shots into the fifth row all night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hornets · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
