After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Pistons outlasted the Hawks 129-113. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
