Pistons (15-13) 105; Hawks (6-22) 91

The Pistons outscored the Hawks 55-33 in the second and third quarters combined to pull far ahead and never looked back. Detroit center Andre Drummond (12/19/8) was just two assists away from recording a triple-double in a dominant 32-minute performance as the Pistons out-rebounded the Hawks 46-to-34. Ersan Ilyasova (23/3/1) went 10-of-14 shooting for Atlanta, but the other four starters combined for just 21 points on 6-of-24 shooting. Overall, the Hawks offense came out flat and couldn't keep up with their opponents.

Playing without Steph Curry (ankle) and Draymond Green (shoulder), Kevin Durant (36/11/7) and Klay Thompson (25/5/0) stepped up once again, going a combined 25-for-43 from the floor. Thompson went a perfect 5-for-5 from beyond the arc and KD went 4-for-8 in the efficient outing.
