After Action Report

The Pistons handled the Hawks 107-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Pistons answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Hawks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Hawks · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
