The Atlanta Hawks (34 - 8) held off the Detroit Pistons (16 - 26) to notch their 13th consecutive victory on Monday by a score of 93 - 82. This game got off to a rough start as the two teams combined for just 28 points in the first quarter. With star point guard Jeff Teague struggling, it was Mike Scott who became the latest unsung hero for the Hawks. Scott scored 20 points in 21 minutes off the bench. The Pistons' Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond combined for 38 rebounds but that was n't enough to overcome the team's 35 percent shooting performance from the field. Atlanta has now won all three meetings against Detroit this year. Detroit entered Monday's contest as winners of four of its last five, but fell short against arguably the best team in the league right now. Greg Monroe recorded a career - high 20 rebounds and was a force on the offensive glass, helping the Pistons pull down 20 offensive rebounds as a team. The Pistons will return home Wednesday to take on the Magic. Atlanta now has a five - game lead in the Eastern Conference after recording its league - leading 34th win of the season. Jeff Teague turned in one of his worst offensive performances of the season, shooting just 4 - for - 15 from the field, including 0 - for - 5 from three point range. Despite Teague's shooting woes, the Hawks got solid performances from Paul Millsap, Al Horford, and Kyle Korver to help secure the win. On the injury front, reserve point guard Dennis Schroder played 18 minutes Monday after not playing Saturday against Chicago. The Hawks play their next six games at home with their next contest coming Wednesday against the Pacers.
