Red-hot Pistons cool off Hawks in 120–112 showdown
Detroit extended that streak with a 120–112 victory, relying on disciplined team play and efficient shooting. The loss halted Atlanta’s rise, which was further complicated by the absence of second year player Zaccharie Risacher, who was sidelined after sustaining a hard fall in the Hawks’ previous game against the Phoenix Suns.
With the victory, the Pistons (13-2) have won 11 straight games matching their longest winning streak in the past 20 years. Detroit also ended a five-game winning streak for the Hawks (9-6). The Pistons got Cunningham and Ausar Thompson back for Tuesday night’s game after missing seven combined games.
Cade Cunningham returned from injury with 25 points and 10 assists as the Detroit Pistons won their 11th straight game, 120-112 over the short-handed Atlanta Hawks, whose five-game winning streak ended.
