The Atlanta Hawks Film Room Podcast: a Hawks-centric series hosted by David Lee that brings fans from opposing teams to breakdown film and talk through the numbers that defined each and every game.

Episode 73 follows the Hawks defensive battle vs the #1 seed Detroit Pistons. Special guest Ku joins David to discuss Onyeka's massive 1st half footprint, Quin Snyder's defensive strategy vs DET's pick & rolls, Risacher's phenomenal individual defense, how the Hawks stack up vs the opponents that have given DET the most trouble, Jalen Duren's growth as a scorer, Cade Cunningham's defense & so much more.
