After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons squeaked past the Hawks 111-107. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; Pistons' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
