After Action Report
The Hawks rolled past the Pistons 136-115. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
