After Action Report

The Pistons survived the Hawks 101-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
