After Action Report
The Pistons took care of the Hornets 109-95. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell; Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
