After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Pistons 124-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Hawks stayed locked in. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
