The Detroit Pistons just can’t seem to solve Kemba Walker and the Charlotte Hornets, dropping their third in a row to them already this season. The Pistons didn’t go down without a fight, but their execution (or lack thereof) was evident in the 98-86 defeat. The 16-15 Hornets now sit in the sixth spot in the Eastern conference, as the 15-15 Pistons drop down to the seventh spot. The Hornets also now own the tie-breaker as the season series winner.
During the first half, Detroit had a habit of throwing passes at each others’ ankles or into the tenth row.
