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.
