After Action Report
The Pistons blew the doors off the Hawks 111-84. Execution down the stretch made the difference. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Pistons; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
