After Action Report
The Hawks held off the Pistons 102-93. The Hawks won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. The Hawks rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
