After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Pistons snuck past the Hawks 118-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Pistons' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
