After Action Report
The Hawks blew the doors off the Pistons 138-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Hawks locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
