After Action Report
The Hawks survived the Pistons 125-123. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. The Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
