After Action Report
The Hawks held off the Pistons 117-109. Hawks' scorers couldn't be contained. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Hawks' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Pistons rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
