After Action Report
The Hawks rolled past the Pistons 134-88. Hawks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Hawks steamroller is in full effect right now. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
