After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Hawks 112-77. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
