After Action Report
The Pistons buried the Hawks 157-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
