Hornets' Playoff Push: Revenge Against Pistons

It's April 3rd. This is Charlotte Hornets News today, AI-powered updates on your team. I'm

Corey with the story. The Charlotte Hornets are on the cuss of the playoffs this season,

and snagging a spot against the number one seed, Detroit Pistons could be there. Dream draw over

the Boston Celtics. Pistons star Cade Cunningham dealt with a collapse lung a few weeks back,

missing big chunks of time, and even if he comes back, he won't be at full. Power. Detroit's

tough without him, but this matchup feels winnable for Charlotte. That brawl at Spectrum Center

not long ago lit a fire, with Pistons players like Musa Diavate, Jalen Durin, and Isaiah Stewart

tangling with miles. Bridges. Suspensions crushed Charlotte's momentum right when they were heating

up. The Hornets lost both games to Detroit this year, turning this into straight revenge fuel for

the squad and fans alike. Pistons bring that gritty physical style, but Boston, they've been playoff

bees for a decade, hitting the finals twice and grabbing a ring. Facing Resty Cunningham and a

young Pistons crewbeats, going up against Prime Jason Tatum, and Jalen Brown every time.

Charlotte's got the edge in motivation here. Right now, after smashing the Brooklyn Nets and

getting some leak help, the Hornets hold the 8th seed. They need to stay in that 7A range for two

shots in the play internament, plus home court. Five of their last six foes have winning records,

but this team's proven they can upset anybody on a hot night. With Miami and Orlando slipping,

I see Charlotte locking that 7A spot for play in home advantage and a safety net. The real test

comes in those final games, and the 7A play in battle, setting up potential payback on the biggest

stage.
