After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Hawks 105-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately; the Hawks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Hawks · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
