After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons snuck past the Hawks 97-95. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
