The Detroit Pistons have lost 23 consecutive games. That’s bad. They are looking to win precisely one game tonight. That would be good. Their opponent is the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are clearly the superior team, but they are struggling lately after a hot start. The Hawks have won just four if their past 11 games, including six of its past seven contests. The only victory came against the 10-15 Toronto Raptors. Despite being at home for the Hawks, the game falls in the midst of a grueling road grind for Atlanta. This will be just its third home contest since Nov.
