After Action Report
The Hornets rolled past the Pistons 145-112. The Pistons had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Hornets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
