After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Hawks 92-87. The Pistons won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
