Hornets blown out at home by Pistons despite Coby White’s return from injury

The Detroit Pistons dominated the Charlotte Hornets in a 124-91 blowout victory on Monday night in Charlotte. Cade Cunningham led Detroit with a season-high 33 points, seven assists, and five steals in just three quarters of play, while Duncan Robinson added 24 points. The win marked the third consecutive victory for the Pistons, who controlled the contest and built an insurmountable 29-point advantage in the fourth quarter.

Charlotte struggled offensively despite the season debut of point guard Coby White, who returned from a calf strain on a minutes restriction. White contributed seven points in 16 minutes, while Brandon Miller paced the Hornets with 17 points. Hornets coach Charles Lee emptied his bench in the final quarter and noted after the game that guard Kon Knueppel is also nearing a return to action.
