Maker’s mark: Newcomer’s 3 gives Pistons a big road win to start playoff push

FAST BREAKDOWN

Three quick observations from Friday night’s 125-122 win over the Atlanta Hawks at State Farm Arena

MAKER’S MARK –First game in nine days and the Pistons crammed in a little bit of everything – including a dramatic triple from newcomer Thon Maker with 17 seconds left to cap a 10-2 comeback in the final two minutes. What else did this madcap game entail? The Pistons allowed the most 3-pointers from an opponent all season, Atlanta tying Boston’s previous high of 16 in the third quarter and finishing with 20 in 42 attempts – but misses from Trae Young and Vince Carter in the last 10 seconds preserved the win.
