After Action Report
The Hornets survived the Pistons 103-98. Hornets torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Hornets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hornets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
