After Action Report
The Hornets demolished the Pistons 126-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; Hornets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
