After Action Report

The Pistons fended off the Hawks 122-116. The Hawks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
