The Hawks ran roughshod over the Pistons 136-99. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
