After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons held off the Hawks 104-98. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
