After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons survived the Hawks 109-105. Pistons torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
