After Action Report
The Pistons ran roughshod over the Hawks 118-97. Pistons' scorers couldn't be contained. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. Hawks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
