After Action Report
The Hawks outlasted the Pistons 104-97. The Pistons couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hawks. Hawks' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
