In Atlanta, the Hawks survived the Pistons 118-117. The better team simply showed up tonight. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
