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.

- 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.
