After Action Report
The Pistons fended off the Hornets 103-95. Ugly basketball, but the Pistons did just enough. The Pistons carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Hornets. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
