After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons buried the Hawks 120-91. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
