After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hornets ran roughshod over the Pistons 127-92. Hornets' offense had its way with the Pistons. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
