The Detroit Pistons showed their full potential on Friday night. It was a team that looked confident, energized and healthy – things that they haven’t showcased this season.
The result was a 128-103 win over the Atlanta Hawks (4-11), who have struggled ever since the suspension to John Collins.
It was a much-needed win for the Pistons, who had a clunker on Wednesday night in Chicago where they showed no energy, confidence and the Bulls broadcast questioned the health of Blake Griffin.
Detroit shot 17 for 34 from 3-point range and put up 76 first-half points, the most since the Pistons scored 77 on the Hawks on Dec.
