After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Hawks 123-83. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- 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.
