After Action Report
In a track meet, the Hawks handled the Pistons 123-109. Hawks controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Hawks pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
