After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Pistons rolled past the Hawks 126-96. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
