After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks held off the Pistons 101-95. Hawks' offense had its way with the Pistons. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
