After Action Report
The Hawks buried the Pistons 110-89. Hawks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
