After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Pistons 138-108. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. 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.
