After Action Report

The Pistons squeaked past the Hornets 115-113. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
