After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Pistons 125-99. Hawks' offense had its way with the Pistons. The Hawks carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hawks' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
