After Action Report
The Hawks ran roughshod over the Pistons 138-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
