In a track meet, the Pistons snuck past the Hawks 112-110. The tempo dragged the Hawks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Pistons' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Pistons bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Hawks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
