The host Detroit Pistons blew out the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, 118 - 95. Detroit (20 - 24) overcame inconsistent play and a sub - par bench performance for a blowout win against Atlanta. While finding production from their bench has been an issue for the Pistons throughout the season, the starting five was able to more than make up for it on Wednesday. Every starter scored at least 13, and the starting five helped lead a 42 - point first quarter that established an almost insurmountable lead for the Pistons. Pistons point guard Reggie Jackson led the team with 26 points on 50 percent shooting, while All-Star Andre Drummond crashed the glass for 17 rebounds. Altogether, Detroit showed very little weakness in the crushing win, shooting almost 50 percent and holding a 60 - 32 advantage in the rebounding column. The Hawks (24 - 18) had seen hot play in recent weeks but struggled severely on Tuesday. The team shot under 39 percent from the floor and was absolutely demolished on the boards. One area in which the Hawks struggled was three - point shooting, where the team went just 6 - of - 25 from the field. Atlanta was also unable to match up with Detroit's powerful starting five, as the Hawks' own starters looked shaky at best. Two starters combined for just four points and the starting five as a whole committed eight turnovers on the night. The Pistons will host the Wizards on Saturday while the Hawks will face the Bulls on Friday.
