After Action Report
In Detroit, the Hawks demolished the Pistons 122-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hawks cashed in. Hawks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hawks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Hawks bench chemistry carried them. Hawks' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
