After Action Report
The Pistons demolished the Hawks 116-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Hawks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
