Detroit — The Pistons entered Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets with just 10 wins on their bleak record.
Two of those victories were against the Hornets, another young team sitting toward the bottom of the league's standings.
That number increased to 11 wins and Detroit completed a season-sweep of Charlotte after a dominant 114-97 showing over the shorthanded Hornets.
It was a game that Detroit (11-53) was favored to win, epecially since LaMelo Ball, Seth Curry, Tre Mann, Mark Williams, Cody Martin and Bryce McGowens were all unavailable for the Hornets (16-49) due to injury.
