After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Pistons snuck past the Hawks 108-106. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
