The Hornets survived the Pistons 105-100. Hornets' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
