After Action Report
The Hawks knocked off the Pistons 127-124. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
