After Action Report
The Pistons rolled past the Hawks 117-95. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
