The Atlanta Hawks held off the Pistons to earn the 105 - 98 home win, at Phillips Arena on Friday. After trailing by 10 at halftime, the Pistons (15 - 20) battled back to make it a four - point game with four minutes to go, however the Hawks (17 - 16) executed down the stretch to hold on for their second straight win. The Hawks dominated the paint, where they outscored the Pistons 46 - 32. Atlanta's big men led the way, as Paul Millsap was the high - point man, with 26, while Dwight Howard tallied 10 points and 15 rebounds. Kyle Korver came up big with 22 points on 7 - of - 13 shooting, in 29 minutes off the bench, while Dennis Schroder helped ice the game with some clutch free throw shooting, and 17 points and seven assists in the contest. The Hawks improve to 9 - 7 at home and will look to keep the momentum going as they play host to the Spurs on Sunday. Despite all five starters scoring in double figures, the Pistons still came up short, in part due to a very limited contribution from the bench, as only three players came off the bench to combine for 15 points. Jon Leuer led the way in scoring for Detroit, as he totaled 22 points on 9 - of - 16 shooting, along with six rebounds. Andre Drummond chipped in 15 points and 15 rebounds, while Reggie Jackson struggled from the field, but still finished with 20 points and eight assists. This marks the second straight loss for the Pistons, as they fall to 6 - 12 on the road this season. They will look to get back on track as they go on to play in Miami on Sunday.
