Pistons at Hawks final score: Detroit earns the 6th seed after beating Atlanta

The Detroit Pistons have a tough stretch of games right now, and none more important than the one they played tonight against the Atlanta Hawks. Both teams are looking to avoid the play-in tournament to make the playoffs as the 6th seed, but Detroit was able to bring the intense defense the Pistons have been known for in a tough 114-104 win over the Hawks. The turnaround Detroit has had since last season continues to be something I struggle to wrap my head around, but they played some really impressive ball tonight.

Detroit started the game on fire as they shot 64% from the field and 67% from deep in the first quarter.
