The Atlanta Hawks fell to a disappointing loss in Detroit on Monday night, falling in overtime to the Pistons 113-110.
Without Kevin Huerter — sidelined with left shoulder soreness — the Hawks were led by Bogdan Bogdanovic’s 22 points. John Collins returned to the starting lineup and scored 17 points.
For the Pistons, Cade Cunningham scored 28 points and dished out 10 assists while Jerami Grant added 23 points.
The Pistons’ 17-47 record heading into last night’s game may tell one story but their recent form tells another. The Pistons were 5-2 heading over their last seven games into proceedings last night and had beaten some solid teams along the way — teams with similar aspirations as the Hawks — such as the Boston Celtics, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Toronto Raptors and the Charlotte Hornets during that stretch.
