After Action Report

The Hornets buried the Pistons 106-79. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
