After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Pistons downed the Hawks 134-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
