After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Hornets 129-95. Pistons' offense had its way with the Hornets. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
