After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons blew the doors off the Hawks 126-100. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.
