After Action Report

In Detroit, the Pistons buried the Hawks 116-92. Pistons torched the Hawks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Hawks; Hawks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Hawks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
