In what was their highest single game scoring output on the season thus far, the Detroit Pistons were able to put away the Atlanta Hawks. The game felt as if it was more or less settled by halftime, when the Pistons had already poured on 71 points.
Detroit carried their offensive brilliance over tonight from their previous match up in Boston and nearly once again shot 60 percent from the field for the game. They ended at 59.3 percent but for a large majority of the night exceeded the benchmark.
It was truly a complete team effort as the Pistons lead the Hawks in nearly every single recorded team statistic, (only trailed in free throw percentage) the most substantial being the field goal percentage disparity where Atlanta only shot 43.
