After Action Report
In Atlanta, the Hawks buried the Pistons 120-89. The Hawks got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Hawks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Pistons lately. The Pistons looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
