After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons held off the Hornets 134-127. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
