After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons edged the Hawks 113-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
