After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons snuck past the Hawks 109-107. The Hawks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Pistons. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hawks. The Pistons rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Hawks · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
