After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons blew the doors off the Hawks 129-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Hawks came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
