A night after losing to the Boston Celtics, the Detroit Pistons travel to the Charlotte Hornets looking to break a 15-game losing streak against the Hornets. Both of this year’s matchups have resulted in Charlotte scoring 140 points in blowout wins.
In addition to the recent history, the Pistons and Hornets are two teams with much different goals this season. Detroit currently holds the third-worst record in the league, only a half-game ahead of the Orlando Magic. Charlotte ranks ninth in the East and is only two-and-a-half games ahead of the Washington Wizards to stay in the play-in tournament.
