After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Pistons 115-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; shots just aren't falling for the Hawks lately. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
