The Atlanta Hawks won the first of their two consecutive games in Detroit with a 118-113 victory over the Pistons at Little Caesars Arena on Wednesday night.
Trae Young led all scorers with 35 points while John Collins added 19 points. For the Pistons, Bojan Bogdanovic poured out 33 points behind six three-pointers, Cade Cunningham scored 26 points.
With the Pistons entering this contest on the second night of a back-to-back — after being steamrolled by Washington — the first part of the first quarter unfolded as perhaps expected as the Hawks ran out to a double-digit lead as Trae Young picked apart the Pistons in the pick-and-roll en route to 16 first quarter points.
