In yet another battle against one of the Eastern Conference's most competitive and contending teams, the Atlanta Hawks match physicality versus arguably the hottest teams in the NBA on the road... Detroit Pistons at Little Caesars Arena. 

After a couple of late, well put-together runs by Atlanta, the defense couldn't stave off a surging Detroit offense built on its toughness late in the 4th Quarter despite both teams building their identity in its defense as some of the highest ranked in the league. In a battle between 2 of the NBA's fastest rising stars (Cade Cunningham & Jalen Johnson), the 2nd game of a back-to-back proved to be too much for an ATL club that has traveled to compete in most of its contests this season. 

DeShaun Tate commends the Hawks on one particular area including assessments on the keys to victory, ATL's comfortability and the frontcourt void that needs to be addressed sooner than later.
