After Action Report

In Atlanta, the Pistons outlasted the Hawks 103-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Pistons cashed in. The Pistons couldn't shake the cold spell; the Pistons bent the defense out of shape from deep.

What tipped it

  • Hawks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Hawks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hawks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
