Atlanta — Sometimes, the schedule just works in a team’s favor. The Pistons got what the needed, just when they needed it.
After a slow start to their season, the Pistons’ schedule provided the rebuilding Atlanta Hawks as the fodder to help squelch their struggles.
The Pistons pounced early, built a double-digit lead in the first five minutes and never let the Hawks back in the game, cruising to a 124-109 victory on Friday night at State Farm Arena.
