After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Pistons 133-132. Hornets' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
