The Pistons are in good shape after the All-Star Game, winning four of their last six games, including the Wizards, Cavaliers and other teams that have fought for the playoffs. And the team's Bagley traded from the Kings is the best instant power supplement, and he is also proving the Pistons' vision correct with practical actions.
Against the Hawks, the Pistons successfully defeated their opponents in overtime to win consecutive victories, and the final score was fixed at 113-110. Pistons new signing Bagley performed well, playing 19 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals and 1 block on 9-of-16 shooting in 37 minutes, which is the most stable output firepower point for the Pistons bench.

The Pistons can be said to be rebuilt quickly, bagley's addition has made the Pistons' bench more energetic, and Cunningham's growth is gradually getting faster, coupled with Grant, Bay, Olynic, Diallo and other forward players, the Pistons' future lineup has begun to take shape.
The Hawks, who were in full swing of the playoffs, were blocked by the Pistons and reduced to a backstage, and Trae Young could not shirk his responsibility. In this game, Trae Young only hit 5 goals in 20 shots, only scored 14 points and 12 assists, it can be said that the game is very depressed, which also involves a fundamental problem that is height.
Height has become a problem with Trae Young's growth stability, compared to the same year's tall point guard Doncic, Trae Young often has an ups and downs, height has become Trae Young's hard injury. The natural shortcomings in defense and the lack of strong killing ability when the whole field feel is not good are what Trae Young urgently needs to change.
