After Action Report
The Hawks held off the Pistons 97-91. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks steamroller is in full effect right now; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Pistons utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
