After a great win on Wednesday night vs the Knicks, the Hawks went on the road to Detroit to face a Pistons team that is much improved from previous seasons. Th
e game ended up being decided at the end, but the Hawks hurt themselves by digging a massive hole early in the game.
Dyson Daniels had one of the most impressive games that you will see on the defensive end of the floor. Daniels had seven steals in the game to go along with 18 points. His seven steals were a new career high, the most steals in a game this season, and the most steals in a Hawks game since 2010. The bench for the Hawks was not spectacular. David Roddy and Keaton Wallace were invisible for much of the game . Overall, the Hawks shot 45% from the field and 42% from three.
After a loss like this, Atlanta will have to get it together quickly. They will play a back-to-back and face the Chicago Bulls at home tomorrow.Atlanta went with their usual starting lineup of Trae Young, Dyson Daniels, Zaccharie Risacher, Jalen Johnson, and Clint Capela. The Pistons started the quarter on a 9-2 run to get the lead to 49-25 and it looked inevitable that a blowout was on the way. Over the rest of the quarter though, the Hawks defense played its best stretch of the first half and they found some things that clicked on offense.
After a hot start, the Pistons ended up shooting 48% from the field and 38% from three in the first half. Harris led the way with 16 points, but Malik Beasley came off the bench to score 13. That was one big advantage for the Pistons in the first half. The bench for Detroit had 29 points, while the Hawks only had 11.
