After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Pistons 115-102. Hawks torched the Pistons on the offensive end. The Hawks carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
