After consecutive defeats over the Chicago Bulls and Washington Wizards, the Hawks' record in the East is straight after the ninth-place Nets. It is undeniable that as the dark horse team in last season's playoffs, the Hawks have experienced too many blows this season, and it is really remarkable that they can continue to maintain their hearts and move forward at the end of the regular season. Trae Young remains one of the league's best scorers, with the likes of Collins and Pogdan also helping the team ease the pressure on the team. The only player to disappoint is the former pie king Capela, who can continue to hand over the data of the average double-double per game, but the picture of eating cake on the inside line has become much less.
In this game, Trae Young led the team to challenge the Detroit Pistons away. After years of rebuilding in the league, the Pistons are still the bullied fish belly team, which is really painful. However, in the process of cultivating Grant into the core of the team, the Pistons still showed some immediate combat strength. In this showdown, the Pistons have caused a lot of trouble for the Eagles. At the beginning of the game, Grant achieved consecutive interior shots, with 7 points and 1 rebound, and the new branch Canningan also had 5 points and 3 rebounds.
At the same time, the starters on the Eagles side have been working hard one after another, and although they have played a state of blooming everywhere, they have only taken a 1-point lead with a 30-29 score. And the Pistons, who are in a state of backwardness in the second quarter of the showdown, can also counterattack. Grant continued to deliver 7 points and 2 rebounds in the quarter, and Bagley, who was on the bench, even sent 7 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in the full 12 minutes of the game. With the successive efforts of the opponent's starters and substitute players, the Pistons also played a 30-26 score, not only recovering the 1 point behind in the first quarter, but also achieving a 3-point counterattack with a 59-56 score at halftime.
The point difference between the two teams is not very large, and either side has a chance to win the game. And YiBian fought again, and the Eagles chased points at the first time. In the third quarter, the Eagles, who played everywhere, narrowed the gap between the two sides to 2 points with a 20-19 score. And in the crucial final quarter of the showdown, the Eagles were able to seize the last chance and play a 25-23 score to force the game into overtime. But in a short overtime time, the Pistons actually stabilized their form, with a 7-point score from Kaningan and a 3-pointer from Grant, hitting a 12-9 score.
In the end, the whole game was over, and the Pistons won the game with a score of 113-110. In terms of the game's data performance, the Eagles' star Trae Young obviously did not play himself, shooting 5 of 20 in a single game, with only 14 points to contribute. Although Collins and Pogdan in the team can stand up and help the team relieve the pressure of scoring, the effect is not very obvious. On the pistons side of the Home Games, Grant only played 34 minutes and delivered 23 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.
Cunningham tried his best in this game, and in the 43 minutes of playing, he gave a hungry game-high score of 28 points, as well as 6 rebounds and 10 assists. It is worth affirming that although it is a fish-belly team that is looked down upon by other teams, they can also inadvertently bottom out and play the momentum that an NBA team should have. After the Pistons won the game, the Eagles' record could not go any further, and the Nets, who had been worried about being overtaken by them, should also breathe a sigh of relief.
