After Action Report
The Hornets squeaked past the Pistons 101-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Hornets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Hornets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
