The Detroit Pistons are looking to build off of their 103-96 against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night. Before that, they lost five straight games.
Tonight, they continue their short road trip against the Atlanta Hawks before returning home against the Charlotte Hornets.
The Pistons are 5-5 through their first ten games of the season. Tonight is a good opportunity to get back over that .500 mark.
This game is much like their last one in Orlando. The two teams are very similar in where they are right now as far as talent and progression.
Teams like Orlando and Atlanta are building for the future rather than competing now.
