After Action Report
In a track meet, the Pistons buried the Hawks 125-99. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Pistons' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Pistons per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
