After Action Report
The Hornets handled the Pistons 113-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hornets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
