After Action Report
In Detroit, the Pistons handled the Hawks 135-121. The Pistons got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Pistons locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
