After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Pistons demolished the Hornets 109-88. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
