After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons squeaked past the Hornets 108-105. The Hornets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
