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.
