After Action Report

The Pistons blew the doors off the Hawks 124-98. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Hawks couldn't shake the cold spell. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
