After Action Report
The Pistons knocked off the Hawks 101-92. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Hawks looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
