After Action Report
The Pistons snuck past the Hawks 114-111. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Pistons came in with something to prove after a loss; Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
