After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Hornets 109-88. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
