After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets took care of the Pistons 108-93. Hornets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Hornets stayed locked in. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
