After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons demolished the Hornets 131-105. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
