After Action Report
The Pistons squeaked past the Hawks 103-100. Pistons' offense had its way with the Hawks. Second-chance points piled up for the Pistons; Pistons' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
