FAST BREAKDOWN
Three quick observations from Wednesday night’s 116-110 win over the Charlotte Hornets at Time Warner Center
FOUR OFF THE FLOOR – Preseason plans often go awry and so it was for Dwane Casey. He hoped to use one of the last two games to fashion a rotation akin to what he expects to use in next week’s regular-season opener, but minor injuries got in the way. The Pistons played without four of their top eight players – Blake Griffin, Derrick Rose, Reggie Jackson and Luke Kennard – in the preseason finale at Charlotte, winning to finish at 3-2.
