Detroit — Pistons fans have seen this movie before — only the characters are different.
This time, it was the Charlotte Hornets and Kemba Walker. Or Dwight Howard. Or Nicolas Batum. It didn’t seem to matter much. Whoever got in the lane, they got a high-percentage shot.
The movie ended the same way for the Pistons in the last couple weeks: another bad defensive performance — and another loss.
The Pistons didn’t put up much resistance in the paint and fell to the Hornets, 118-107, in a holiday Monday matinee at Little Caesars Arena.
