After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Pistons 111-109. The breakneck pace played right into Hawks' hands. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
