DETROIT - Andre Drummond was out due to pink eye and Bob Marjanovic didn't get off the bench, leaving the Detroit Pistons with a smaller lineup than usual.
No worries. They still played with defensive energy and dominated the glass.
Eric Moreland and Jon Leuer stepped up big Friday as the Pistons defeated the Atlanta Hawks 109-87 in a preseason game at Little Caesars Arena.
Stan Van Gundy happy with Pistons' defense, energy vs. Hawks
Leuer, starting at center in place of Drummond, grabbed 11 rebounds (all on the defensive end) and scored six points.
