After Action Report
The Hawks squeaked past the Pistons 117-112. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Hawks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Hawks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Hawks per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
